Maui

We just got back from a trip to remember from Maui. It was such a great time. We definitely made use of all of the swimming pools in our condo complexes! So relaxing and I can't wait to go back again someday.
Our view from the lanai of our condo. Ahhh....relaxation!
Dan, Bennett, and Sam riding in the convertible that we rented.
Bennett and Sam in front of the Pioneer Mill where we went to the Lahaina Plantation Days Festival.
Bennett acting like a bullfrog. The night before he was chasing frogs all over the place (lots of those in Maui!!)
Bennett and Max hanging out watching Scooby Doo at the Condo.
Dan and I on Date Night in Maui - went to see Warren and Annabelle's magic show...such fun! My cheeks hurt from laughing afterwards.

Sunsets in Maui

The sunsets in Maui were spectacular...wish I had a few more pictures of them. I just love watching the sun dip beneath the ocean beyond. Beautiful and breathtaking!

Haleakala Crater - Maui

On our second day in Maui we all piled in the cars and traversed the beautiful Maui countryside and up the mountains to see the Haleakala Crater. At the top the elevation was just over 10,000 feet and the air was thinner up there...not too mention quite a bit cooler too. It was the ONLY place in Maui that I needed a jacket. The Crater itself was so neat...the colors looked like they were painted on. Dan said that this was a bit what he imagined Mars looking like.

Sugar Cane Train Maui

On the first day in Maui, we took a ride on the Sugar Cane Train which is an old train line that ran Sugar Cane from Honokowai to Lahaina. The kids loved it!
