Reynolds Ohana: Adventures of Dan & Krystal Part 1

This week we have been having fun with Mike's brother Dan & his wife Krystal.

They flew in on Sunday afternoon - and since then it has been a constant party! Mike is fortunate enough to have some leave saved up, so we have all been able to enjoy this time together!

Day One

We drove around the island and stopped at a few of our favorite places.

We stopped by Laneakea Beach and there were SEVEN sea turtles just lounging on the shore! Laneakea is a favorite hangout spot for the honu, and we were lucky enough to get there at just the right time to see them up close and personal!

Another island favorite is Aoki's Shave Ice. I am IN LOVE with shave ice!! I could seriously eat this everyday.

Day Two

Some more exploring/touring of the island. We stopped at the Pali Lookout (super windy) and enjoyed the view!

Then we stopped by Bellows Beach, the most romantic, beautiful beach in Hawaii (in my humble opinion).

Check out that wave crashing right behind them!

We also made a stop at Halona Blowhole on the south shore, one site unique to Oahu.

Day Three

Our Maunawili Hike.

This is our sexy models in the wilderness picture. Because that's how we roll.

Right before we all jumped off the waterfall!!

At the end... covered in mud!! Loved every second. Besides the second I fell in the mud. Other than that second, every other second was alright. :)

Our great friends also wanted to go go-karting that evening, so we headed over to Podium Raceway (in our muddy clothes and everything) for some race time! Krystal and I sat this one out, but Mike won the race and Dan got 2nd! Cause we married some pretty awesome go-kart racers!

Day Four

We went back to Bellows Beach to spend some more time playing in the waves. Let me tell you, they were GIGANTIC!

We all had a nice little nap on the beach.

Look at that Baywatch honey getting in the waves!

We both suffered Man O War stings, Mike's was on his foot and mine was right under my arse. Guess we shoulda read those signs!

This is my favorite picture of the boys.

Dan and Krystal's version of playing frisbee golf...

We loved the course on Bellows.

Day Five

Chinatown, oh chinatown...

We had some interesting experiences there. I guess I am pretty much shameless, I went into a Men's restroom because the Women's was locked...

Shortly after I had secured myself in the stall, a man came barreling in the bathroom, screaming at the top of his lungs,

"THIS ISN'T THE MAINLAND! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING USING THE MEN'S BATHROOM?"

I jumped about 90 feet, and he was peering through the crack in the stall to see if he'd scared me (which he most assuredly had).

Mike wasn't with us (thankfully, I feel like he would have kicked the guy in the cajones)... So we just high tailed it out of there as quick as we could, while this man followed us around yelling that he was going to call the police.

Anyway, here is a chinatown picture.
