A couple weeks ago my brother-in-law Brett and his girlfriend Christine came for a visit! We had a child-free day on their first full day in Hawaii so we decided to take them up to the North Shore.

There are so many fun shops and restaurants in Haleiwa. I finally bought the North Shore sign I’ve been wanting so we can take it with us to Germany. Then of course we had to take some photos by the real thing!

This is my favorite tree in the world *sigh* so sad to be leaving it.

Our goal of finding some sea turtles was accomplished! Brett and Christine got to snorkel a little and some of the turtles were popping their heads up and swimming up to the shore to rest.

And these two crazy cats did some rock jumping at Waimea Bay!

      It was! I definitely didn’t do the rock jumping, though :) I’ll settle for taking the photos on that one!
