Fun with the fam

This last week my Mom and brother came to Hawaii and we had a blast!!! One of the highlights we had was going on a boat to go swim with the dolphins and view whales. The only sad thing was Tyson couldn't come on the boat too-he had to watch our kids while we were on the boat(we had someone babysit for us all day the Saturday before so he could come with me on my final dive to be scuba certified, and we just didn't feel like we could ask our friend to babysit all day again--nor was I able to get a milk supply for a whole day again in just one week). But it was still so fun!


Ryan, me, & my mom

That person is me! These four dolphins swam right next to me! This picture was taken by the boat photographer. (Actually, all of the pictures on this post were taken by him).

Me and My dolphins! There's a little baby with them.


This is a white-tipped shark we saw while snorkeling at the end of the tour. The photographer said she's pregnant and actually chased her out of some coral so we could get pictures. Normally I would not swim towards a shark, but when everyone else did, Ryan and I followed!

We also saw a beautiful turtle just as we were getting back into the boat.

Bye Ry! It was way fun to have you here! Thanks, Mom, for making it possible!
