Fun In Maui Hawaii

Sharing photos from our trip to Hawaii! What a great way to induct our new family website!! Here you go, folks. In no particular order….

Wowee!! This picture was taken at the Maui Ocean Center. Maui’s first-class aquarium! We had a ball! As did Helen Hunt & her family whom Kristen & Molly spotted in the aquarium. (You know….Mad About You…Academy Award for “As Good As It Gets”??) Well, we couldn’t leave Maui without our “celebrity siting!! By the way, if you think the following picture was taken with Katie Holmes…well, that is just our (very cute) babysitter Meagan who came along for the ride. We would NOT do another trip without her! (:

Surfin’ USA!! This picture is early in the trip at the “adult pool” at our condo complex. We are pretty sure a pro football player was staying in the condo next to this pool. Of course, if he doesn’t play for the Chiefs or the Giants…we have no idea who he is…and we didn’t.

Some of you may remember the following dress from our trip to the Outer Banks the summer before last. Same cute girl. Shorter dress.

Ah…..a maui sunset.

Molly on the boardwalk in Lahaina! She is just waiting for that CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE! By the way, when you go to Maui (and you should!) do NOT miss the tree in front of the Old Lahaina Courthouse. It’s really 5 or 6 (or something?) trees connected together. Planted by some European explorer in 1793. Unbelievable. Really!

This is us at “Cheeseburger in Paradise”. A great Cheeseburger with an ocean view. Quite possibly the best restaurant in the U.S. (if not the world!). I’m sure Zagat has given it many many stars!!

And…there is that cheeseburger! (:

The Grand Wailea (the hotel next door to our condo complex, with a KILLER pool that we could not use!). If your penny hits the mermaids shell, all kinds of great things come your way. I have an empty coin purse, and a lot of grand expectations. By the way, don’t you love the “hitch” in Jenny’s “gitch”?

My little darlin’ on Maui’s BIG BEACH. The largest white sand beach in Maui with NO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT! Put simply….paradise.

I am ALL OVER those waves in the morning!! Hang Ten Dude!!

Don’t you love this pic of my adorable husband. I love him…and his “little biz” that brought us to this beautiful place.

Kristen & Dave on a sunset cruise. It was peak whale season in Hawaii, and you could NOT look out to the ocean (whether on sea or on land) without seeing a spout, a tail, a breach or whatever. The whales were really the most amazing part of the trip.

The captain moved the catamaran to get this picture just right! (:

A sand teddy bear! Castle, Smastle. WE like to be creative.

Molly loves her daddy. Daddy love Molly.

Jenny loves her Mommy. Mommy loves Jenny.

Our newfound passion on the trip….My Little Pony books! Love to see that kid with a book on her nose!!

I turned THREE today! And don’t I look CUTE!

That’s it!! When we were at the airport waiting for our 8:45pm flight home, Molly & Jenny struck up a friendship with a little gal in the gateway. As we were boarding, Molly shouted out “See you next year!”. Ah…from her lips to God’s ears!

Aloha!! Kristen, Dave, Molly & Jenny.
