Family Photos at Waimea Valley

Our friend Annette Bley is a BYUH photography student and in our ward. She was so kind to spend a few hours with us trying to get Quentin and Leilani to co-operate. It was no easy feat! I really think they like to make picture taking as difficult for the photographer as possible! Annette was a trooper and so pleasant to work with. Mahalo Annette!

Waimea Valley is on the way to North Shore. If you turn off Kamehameha Highway to the east, you go to the valley. If you turn to the west, you go to the beautiful beach. There is a HUGE rock people will jump off if the waves are not too big. At the end of the 3/4 mile walk through verdant botanical gardens, you reach a waterfall. Depending on the season, you can swim in the pool at the base of the falls. Waimea Valley is a place we liked to take visitors. There are so many picturesque views along the path.


(Some of the photos are doubles because of color or black and white. They are both too adorable to choose one over the other!)








Aren't those dirty feet adorable!?!



















Captured Quentin being Quentin. So sweet!

    1. Wow Larissa, you are so on top of my blog! I'm still learning about this stuff. Is there a way to put an "alarm" on someone's blog so you know when they've made a new post? That would be awesome! I have your blog on favorites, and check it once a week, but it'd be nice to know sooner. Thank you for all your kind remarks! We miss you! (P.S. Quinn received his card in the mail last week. We'll call you on his birthday.)
