Maui 2012...10 adults, 4 kids, and tons of fun. A few things...
-
First, there's a lot of pictures in two albums. This first album is
almost all pictures I took (almost all). There's about 300 pictures to
be seen. The second album which will come later is all pictures that my
father-in-law took. I'll post those later...but there are some really
good ones.
- Second, I took my camera out fewer times then ever
before. I mainly enjoyed the time with family and Brennan. What that
means is all the pictures I took were taken during those 7-8 "times" (or
"moments/events") that I had my camera.
- Finally I've picked a
handful of pictures here to show you and to write about some of our
memories. If you want to skip it all and just see the pictures, well you
can do that.

see the full album, click here...and it really is worth looking at all the pics.
Below are a few of our highlights! And remember, you can click on any of these pictures to see them larger.

Each morning began with
breakfast on our balcony,
often joined by Lucy and Matt who were also up
early with us.
To the right is the view from our balcony. |
 |
| Of course the highlight of the trip was the
beach... |
|
 |
B trying desperately to keep up with Lucy.
Here
they were racing after a ball that was on the beach |
 |
| B digging in the sand. |
 |
Ice Cream at Lappert's...one of those things
we always have to do.
Our flavor? "Maui Mango Madness" |
|
 |
One of the favorites for all the cousins was
getting
tossed up in the air by their Dad's and Uncles.
Here B
takes flight, although Corban got the most air. |

The first few nights featured a guy on our
beach who could do some
amazing "fire shows." He made quite an
impact on everyone,
especially Brennan who has been "practicing" his
own fire-shows ever since.
B will do a fire show with whatever is
handy; but preferably with a stick. |
 |
| This is one of Julie and I's favorite
places...a walk at the south end of Maui along the lava fields, with the
crystal blue water shadowing us the whole way. We always see goats
(wild), red cardinals, beautiful scenery, turtles, and more. |
 |
Both Julie and I tried the
paddle-boarding...
harder than it looks |
 |
The condos had a nice court-yard area which
was fun to hang out and
have our larger family meals at. Here,
Brennan has just woken up from
a nap and is hanging out with Auntie
Kathryn, coloring. |
 |
| Most afternoons the cousins would go on
"lizard patrol." |
 |
| This is what they were looking for...(and
they were everywhere) |

| Swimming in the pool with Mama! |
|
 |
| Shave Ice! We discovered this on our 2nd to last night...so yummy! |
 |
The last morning, the day we left, I went back to grab my camera in the
morning light as Brennan enjoyed his last hour playing in the
tide pools with his stick, throwing rocks (really small pieces of coral). |
 |
| A good picture to end on! |
