Day 47: August 4, 2013

And we're off to hike again! Dan and I stayed at the Hilton with Sarah and my Mom and Dad. It was pretty cozy! I took them to the Maunawilli Falls hike, but totally forgot that it had been raining the past week so needless to say, it was EXTREMELY muddy! Sarah was not liking that part! I wanted them to be able to see the difference between the dry, mountain hikes with beautiful views and the rainforest type hikes.. They definitely got the experience. We drove to the Marine Corps Base beach afterwards to rent boogie boards and ride some waves. The waves were HUGE and the lifeguard warned us that he already had to save 3 people that day. Of course, we still went in and got tossed around quite a bit. We had one really scary wave that kind of ruined it all by knocking Sarah off her board and throwing her under the wave. Thankfully, Dan saved the day and rescued her though!

I was so excited for them to see the church I've been going to for the past two weeks. I can't explain it, but I just felt a really strong connection to God here and it was such an amazing church with beautiful music and sermons. They LOVED it! We wish we could bring the excitement with us back to the mainland churches.. I've never experienced any other church like it! After church, we stopped at Big Kahuna pizza for some personal pans. Military discount here!
