Aloha Maui

Our trip started out to be a rough journey... but in the end, Maui was the paradise vacation that we were hoping for!

We experienced a little delay at the airport, so we headed off to have lunch.

The delay (fuel leak... part needed) ended up lasting more than 18 hours and we did not leave for Maui until 1:00 AM... poor Katie couldn't do it anymore!

We finally arrived in Maui and the kids were blessed by a nice lady from Illinois with 3 boogie boards to use the whole time we were there! Thanks kind lady!




Hyatt Luau... we enjoyed a great meal, hula dancing, and fire knife dancers. Garret ate only the meat: pork, chicken and beef... Katie ate only the noodles and fruit... they were all happy in the end. Mom and Dad enjoyed the Mai Tais!

Walked out to "Dragon's Teeth" formed by the volcano and waves.

Hiked down some steep rocks to get to the Nakalele Blowhole. The kids were way faster than we were... I called them my "goats".

Then we hiked down to the Olivine Pools...

Dinner at Bubba Gump's Shrimp House... our waiter was from Tacoma... funny!


Katie and Garret loved to boogie board in the surf...

We took a snorkeling trip out to Molikini to swim with the fish and turtles.



We visited the Maui Ocean Center one afternoon... the kids loved it!

We "hung out" around the Banyan Tree in downtown Lahaina one day.

The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool EVERYDAY!

We had a great trip to Maui!
