Hawaii
We just got back from our Maui trip. It was a fun family trip but fun definitely revolves around what the kids want to do. We did lots of swimming!! Nikki even swam in the rain. The kids loved the Luau. Nikki even went on stage for hula lessons. The kids didn’t really care too much about the volcano but we had to do it once. Justin was crazy about the big waves. The ocean was nice and warm. I went out snorkeling with Nikki. I didn’t snorkel but Nikki was looking in the ocean. She scared me when she freaked out a little when she saw a sea turtle. But when she found her first fish she was so excited. Unfortunately when I took Justin out he only saw one silver fish. We took the kiddos to Cheeseburger in Paradise, our favorite. Luckily the umbrellas in the food and drinks was a high light for the kids. Watching the kids have so much fun exploring was the high light of the trip for me. There was a beach that had a rope swing, the kiddos had never swung like that before. I think they could have stayed there all week. Big giggles and smiles while they were swinging. Our sub ride was a little disappointing. We saw a few school of fish but the water was a little murky. We all loved the Hawaiian shaved ice with vanilla mac nut ice cream and cream! This was our first trip with friends. It was nice that we were able to go on a date night. Bret and I went and saw a comedy magic show that was amazing. I laughed so hard. It was nice having another family there especially the last night when we hung out and just chatted and drank with our friends.
