Maui 2008 Vacation Highlights













Things we did

1. Relaxed

2. Sun bathed

3. Sighted some AMAZING whales and baby whales.

4. Snokeled with Turtles- Grandma helped Paje see her first turtle in the ocean with a snorkel!

5. Body Surfed at Big Beach. Grandpa got smashed while holding Paris, Jenny got mad at Grandpa, then Jenny got smashed while holding Preston... can you blame Paris and Preston for preferring the pool? Sand, salt water and huge waves... something they will enjoy more when they are older!

6. Fish tacos at Leilani's.

7. Hula Pie Leilani's.

8. Shoped in Laihaina. Kids climbed in HUGE Banyon tree.

9. Luau with hula dancing and fire dancer.

10. Chinese new year- dancing dragons parade

11. Fell in love with the Lahaina first ward! We loved the old singing Hawaiian lady in Testimony meeting, she started singing a Christmas song, and they finally had to ask her to end it... so FUNNY! Paje loved her primary class! She came out with a 32 oz. Gatorade and 2 lbs. of candy and a puzzle. Preston and Paris loved the nursery with teacher they called "Auntie" and came home with a pound of candy each and couldn't stop chattering about how fun their class was! Jenny played piano in RS. Gospel Doctrine teacher might be the best ever- she was great! We got to go two weeks in a row- neat experienc to get to know the warm, wonderful Hawaiian people!
