Okay, last HAWAII Post.....

I know I have posted a million pictures, and they are all unorganized and confusing. Sorry. This is my last post though.
Here are a few pictures of the resort at TURTLE BAY.... (PS have you ever seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall? It is all filmed at Turtle Bay. We rented it (edited, of course) while we were there, but i fell asleep...kind of cool).
Little Grant was such a pleasure.....it wouldn't have been the same without him.

Aust, Grant, and Jason Tubbin it on the beach...

I know we didn't get too many pictures of Gma and Gpa, but atl east I got this one of those two little rugrats. I am starting to see a lot of Carl in Austin.

Hello.

true hawaiian resort....

We seriously had the best vacation. We were able to visit pretty much everywhere we wanted to go. We spent 99.9% of the time in the water or at the beach so here are some pictures of different places...
SHARK'S COVE
(Yes, we found out after that there are mini sharks in there)
This is a shallow snorkeling place. It is hard to tell how beautiful it is from the pictures, but it is a huge circle surrounded by rocks, and the waves were so big that they were crashing over the rocks. It was really beautiful. Ingersoll Clan...
Snuggle Bunny Grant....
Aloha A A & J
We look like pro snorkelers huh? Not.
LAIE POINT

WAIKIKI BEACH

The last 3 days we spent in Honolulu.
We went Parasailing...AHHH

This is Aust, Me, and Alissa getting ready to go. (Her and Adam sadly got split up, but she was lucky to get paired up with us)
Screaming LOUD Screaming REALLY loud (700 ft. in the air) Dippin us in the ocean. We were hoping a dolphin would be jumping in the background for this picture or a whale or a shark (ah!) or something cool?
We also went Jet Skiing (but I don't like to talk about it...just kidding) This was probably the worst part of the trip. I hated it...like hated that. Is that weird? It wasn't fun at all 1- we had to pay 40 dollars each 2- we went around in a circle for a half hour...they didn't even let us go wherever we wanted. We were totally restricted 3- Austin forced me to drive 4- I was freezing. It was like a little kid sat there for a half hour and splashed me with freezing water (in the wind) 5- I am a scaredy cat when it comes to the ocean ....... I could go on and on. Austin hated me for that 1/2 hour, I am positive. Now he likes it is the funniest thing ever. I don't.
Peace. Andrea's thought: I do NOT want to do this, but smile for the picture!!! It looks like I'm having fun.... but I am pretending for the picture. I should have kept all that a secret.
Something cool about Waikiki Beach......
You see people like this......
Is he nakey? Good question.
I don't know which beach this one is because Alissa and I were busy hanging out with Sawyer, but the boys went surfing while we were goo goo eyed..... too bad I didn't get any pictures of them. They got all cut up though - so I think they did good ???? (PS...see the guy with the surf boards? His name is Uncle Bryan. He is crazy, but he is Mia's (one of the main surfer girls on Blue Crush....I think the one with short spiky hair) dad in real life. Does that make sense?
We saw a few sweet creatures while we were there. There is a place called Turtle Bay, and there are like a ton of turtles swimming in the water. When the waves aren't super big, you can swim with them. We swam with turtles when we went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and we swam with turtles on the LOST beach too...
While we were searching for the LOST crew....we ran into this little guy. At first we thought he was dead, but then one of the genius boys threw a rock at him (sad!) and he jumped up, and scared me half to death. He was just sunbathing. He hung out with us for a while though....
WAIMEA BEACH
This beach is usually pretty calm. There is a big huge rock that people always jump off, but when we went there the waves were huge and no one was jumping. We went right when the waves peaked. They were sooo big, which isn't so good for me, but the boys liked it.... I love this picture of grant. He was a good model....

The waves don't even look that big. I swear they were.
Austin crashed and burned....
(hahahah) This was my favorite beach..... THE HUKILAU BEACH. Why you say? Andrea sized waves.
SUNSET BEACH


Here we are at the airport waiting to go home... Austin was really unhappy about it, but at least we got a tan (PS it is already gone SAD!) GOODBYE HAWAII

This place has a really good view of the coast. There is a legend that goes along with it, but I don't really remember it. You can jump off the cliff and there is a secret room underneath where you can collect sea glass. We didn't do that 1 - cause it was raining 2- Grandma Ingersoll said no cliff jumping 3- I'm kind of a baby 4- we probably would have died the waves were so big

I WANT TO GO BACK!!!!!! AHH I just loved frolicking on the beach with you for 10 days and hanging out with Sawyer! What a vacation! Has this week been so hard to get back into the swing of things like it has been for me?
I CAN NOT wake up in the mornings and I hate being cold! My tan is already gone and now I have a sexy cold sore!
