Kelly's Pictures and Other Stuff: July 2009

Last Thursday, me, Matt, Mike, Chris, Andrea, and Danielle were ALL off of work!!! We drove out to Fowler to meet up with Chris and Danielle for lunch, and then all four of us drove to Big Rapids to meet up with Mike and Andrea who were coming from work at Spring Hill. Matt and I surprised Mike by being there!! It was fun. We saw the new Harry Potter movie :) Then we went to Applebees for dinner and Dairy Queen for dessert. It was a great day having us all together!

The boys

The girls

Mike spilled his drink so our waitress brought him a kids cup...it was hilarious!

The boys decided to pile on top of a bulldog statue next to Dairy Queen

All six of us!! The boys actually cooperated in taking a nice picture!!

I finally made it to Hawaii!!!! We were there for 10 days. It was so much fun! We did a cruise that went to 4 different islands: Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai. I took over 400 pictures, but only posted about 20. To see 200 of the best pictures, you can go to my facebook link at the bottom of this post :)

The first day on our cruise! Everyone loved our shirts :)

We were 2 hours early for our first excursion...we were excited! Relaxin at the pier

Wailea beach in Maui...voted one of the top beaches by the Travel channel

We went boogie boarding

This is a Banyon tree. This particular tree is the 2nd largest of its kind in the world. It spans over 1 block. The first largest is in India.

We went surfing in Maui too! It was awesome and both of us got up everytime. I surfed all the way to the beach a few times!

Here is a picture of both of us with our surfing instructor...we got private lessons for a group price!

Shave ice!! Super tasty and very popular in Hawaii

Remember the Newlywed gameshow on our other cruise? Well, this cruise had one too...and Matt and I were contestants. They asked really embarassing questions, but guess what? We won!! We won a bottle of champagne, a 25 minutes couples massage, and a bag of goodies.

Rainbow Falls in Hilo

This is a live volcano...but the day we went, the sulfur was really high so it wasn't very clear. It was really cool to see in person, but harder to take pictures of.
