Our fourth day in Hawaii was a Sunday. We spent the morning relaxing on the balcony listening to church music and getting ready for our day out and church.
We decided to go to one of the wards that was on the north side of the island by the Laie Temple. It was a ward that started at noon. Just before church started since we got there early we decided to walk to the front of the temple to see it. We spent a little time there and then walked over to one of the ward buildings since there were two for church. The ward had some wonderful speakers that talked about the sacrament and about being involved members. Their high counselor that spoke was a funny and very interesting guy to listen too. Layla did very well in church. After church we walked back over to the temple and took pictures, walked through the visitors center, talked to the sister missionaries and the men changed their clothes.
The temple is so white and the ground are beautiful. It is crazy to think that was one of the first temples to be build in this latter day.
After our time at the temple we went to some of the spots that we were told we needed to go too. Such as the fruit stands on the side of the road, Teds bakery and then we went to Waimea Falls for a nice walk to end our Sunday.
We did get to enjoy at the fruit stand some local fruits like dragon fruit, fresh coconut, pineapple, star fruit, and mango. We even took a drink out of a coconut. Not the milk but just the juice in the middle.
Ted bakery, sadly we weren't very impressed with it. It was just a normal bakery. We must be really lucky to have great bakers in our life that their stuff wasn't that good. It was not bad but not AMAZING. haha
The walk through the botanical gardens to the water fall was amazing. Layla did not want to ride in her stroller so we walked slowly through the park/gardens. Then we made it to the waterfall. Tanner and I did not get in the water but Chance and Aubrey did go walk in just to try out the water. It was really a great Sunday.
We then headed back to the condo and I made fried rice for dinner and we just talked and enjoyed each others company.
