Lai'e, Hawai'i Temple

This is one of our favorite destinations as a family. We feel fortunate that it is only a 6 minute drive up the road. The kids ask to come here often and walk around the grounds. It is peaceful and uplifting- we love it! This picture looks like a postcard to me (I took it) except for our friends that happen to be in this photo! Let's give a shout out to the Moore family!
The kids love to sit and listen to the short presentation and count how many times they say the word "LoVe."
Such special children... :)
Ryan wants to walk ALL the way around so he's carrying the entire stroller up the steps to see the top of the fountains!
RIVER!

Yours truly ;) Hunter took this pic and was very proud of himself!
On a random note, the "boat" you see in the background is the infamous "Iosepa" which is a traditional Hawaiian sailing vessel that is taken out on open water only about once a year. It's a really neat program they have at BYU-H where only a certain number of students get to sail it. It's in the Hawaiian Studies program and they under-go extensive training; physical, mental, and spiritual to be able to be chosen for the journey which takes about a month to complete. It is launched from Hukilau Beach. So for one FHE in May we went to see it before they set sail!
