I don't have a picture of this, but one of the things I loved about this part of our trip was going mountain biking with Jeff. I had never been mountain biking before and so Jeff took me to one of his favorite spots. It was so much fun and I really liked spending that time with my brother. </div>

We had a great time in beautiful Colorado. After 4 days of some great family time, lots of fun adventures, and some delicious food, we headed out once again. Another rental car and 8 more hours of driving. Next stop, Utah!</div>

Our first stop on our 10,000 mile trip, was Nebraska! We were so excited to see our good friends the Tyrrell's again. We went to all of our favorite spots and tried to eat all of our favorite foods. The only thing missing was Aaron.<br />

On May 28th we found out there was an Air Force flight going to Lincoln Nebraska in 72 hours. After some discussion about missing Lucy's ballet recital, logistics of making our way across the country, how to get home, being away from Aaron for a month, and having never done the free Air Force flights before, we decided to go for it! Early in the morning (5:30 AM) on the 31st, he headed to Hickam Air Force Base to try and get a seat on a plane that was leaving in a few hours. After some waiting, we found out we had been chosen for the flight and we had our tickets! We checked our bags and waited to board the plane. Everything was going so smoothly until they made the announcement that our plane had mechanical problems and there would be a 24 hour delay. No problem, we thought. But we quickly learned that this process of getting on a free flight was not going to come easily. </div>

We went home and crashed. Later that afternoon we found out the the flight would now be leaving at midnight. So at 11:00 PM I loaded up the kids and headed back to the air force base. We were then sent home again for a flight time change to 10:00 in the morning. </div>

We slept and then went back. When we got there, they still had not fixed the plane. New time: 4:30. We spent the day at the park, shopping, and just hanging out waiting for 4:30 to come. At 4:30 we were a little nervous to go back...but the plane was fixed! We checked our bags, again, and waited to board the plane with the understanding that until we were on the plane and had been in flight 4 hours, there was still a chance we were not going to Nebraska. </div>

We had a great time celebrating Aaron's 39th birthday! He decided to take the day off and head to the North Shore. But before we loaded up the whole family, he and I went for a morning run to the beach where he spent an hour or so catching fish in the tide pools. (His favorite pastime) </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After our morning run, Aaron opened his birthday present. A waterproof camera! He (and the rest of us) were so excited. We went to a few of our favorite snorkeling places to see what kind of pictures we could get. </div>

We were lucky to have our good friends stay with us for a few nights. These sweet girls (and their little brother) are starting to become part of the family! Their Dad was deployed to Afghanistan in January and will be gone for a year. He was home for a quick 2 week R&R and so we had the kids stay with us for a few nights while their mom and dad went to Kauai. We had a great time! </div>

This beach day became a little more exciting than usual when Jake got stung by a jelly fish! Luckily there were some people on the beach who were prepared for this kind of thing and offered their help. We learned that meat tenderizer (as well as vinegar and urine) help take the sting away faster. So this lady came running over and offered her meat tenderizer. We dumped it on Jake's feet and then waited. After about 20 minutes or so he was feeling much better. After that we were on the lookout for jelly fish and found so many! They were pretty cool to look at, but made going in the water a little scary. Aaron ran to the store and bought a bottle of vinegar and we ended up using it when Grace got stung on her finger and a few of our friends were stung on their feet. </div>

Along with all of the kid's activities, I had a little adventure of my own. A few friends and I hiked Koko Head. This hike is 1048 railroad ties straight up the side of a mountain. It was tough, and we got rained on. But when we reached the top we had a great view and even saw a double rainbow! </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">We had such a great time with Grandma Bird. She was able to come and stay for 2 weeks! We kept her very busy with sewing lessons, cooking dinner for us, beach adventures, going to the temple, a swim meet, Jake's birthday, shopping with the girls, and we also tried to do a little bit of relaxing. </span><br />

<br /><div>This is the boat that Aaron takes to work every day. We live on this side of Pearl Harbor and his office is straight across the Harbor. So instead of driving around and fighting traffic, he gets on this boat and enjoys a nice boat ride in the morning and evening. He decided to take the kids across so they could see all of the fish and submarines!

<br />School started on August 1st and so far everyone is happy. They have to wear the school t-shirt every day and every day Noah makes a joke about how they are all wearing the same shirt again.

<br />The first few days of school the kids walked. Jake and I would walk with them and Jake would complain the entire time. Then the kids decided to ride their bikes instead. So Jake quickly learned how to ride on a bike with training wheels so he could keep up! It didn't take much to teach him. Just had to work out how to steer and watch where he was going. Jake is much happier now that he gets to ride a big bike!
