I can’t believe our trip is half over! Today was another early morning snorkel trip but this time we all got to go. A lady at dinner last night told us about a place to go with a nice beach so we all met this morning and headed over. Well, all except Allie. She was still sleeping. The beach was near the Prince hotel in Makena.
Pony took us down to touch the water. Autumn was ok with touching it, but she didn’t want to go in.
After one wave she said “Ok, that’s enough” so we ran away. Who knew she was kidding?!
Grandma and Autumn went to the water too.
Look, even Daddy came to the beach with us!
Jeff and Caitlin were trying to take a picture. Look at how much taller she is!
There was a canoe group with their boats there. I went to check it out. The man let me sit inside and hold a paddle!
After that they went out snorkeling. Mom says they saw a turtle out there and lots of fish and coral. She says it was one of the better snorkeling times she’s ever had.
Is the water cold?
I’m building a sand tower.
Since the water was really calm here we did some “surfing”.
Autumn DID NOT want to go in with Mommy today.
Standing on the boogie board was a little tricky, so we did some laying down. I could even do it a little by myself.
Grandma needed a little help going in the water. The kids helped show her how to do it.
Gotta go a little closer…
Not close enough yet…one more step
There we go!
I helped too.
Caitlin and I went out together to rinse off the sand.
After the beach it was time for breakfast. We went into Kihei and had brunch at the Kihei Cafe. I had some of Mommy’s eggs, Daddy’s pancakes, and Grandma’s french toast. They were all yummy! Mommy had cinnamon roll french toast and Daddy’s pancake pile was huge!
Since it wasn’t nap time yet when we got back to the hotel we got to go swimming! In the valet area a lady was packing her car to go home and she gave us these cool boards with windows on them so you could see under water. She even had 3! The kids tried them out in the pool.
This one was me showing Mom my big arms in the big pool.
Tonight after nap we are going to the Old Lahaina luau. We’ll get to see hula dancers!!!
Waiting for the cars to pick us up.
Another try at getting 3 kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time.
Picture with Auntie Pony.
Someone said “Look up!” How literal they take things.
Autumn, look here
Once we got inside the luau we went exploring. first we learned to dance.
Then we went to get hair pieces.
Then we went and made bracelets. We could each do it ourselves!
After I put the flowers on the string the man tied it to my wrist.
See Autumn do it herself.
See hers on her wrist? She wasn’t really grouchy-she was watching the man make a necklace for Ry.
These dancers were doing a few dances before the show started.
See the pretty sunset.
After the show some dancers were outside when you walked out. I took a picture with one, but I closed my eyes!
