Hawaii

After we moved from Logan we were so happy to take an extended vacation to Hawaii. Thanks to Uncle Paul and Aunt Pat we stayed at their beautiful house on Maui. We were there for 10 days and we could have stayed longer. We spent most our our time on the beach down from the house. We are now champs at paddle ball, body surfing, and snorkeling. Each time we went out snorkeling we saw at least 2 turtles and tons of cool fish.

We also went on the Hana Hwy. which is a 25 mile road with over 600 turns. We only made it 7 miles. First we stopped at Twin Falls and did a rope swing through a waterfall. Then we stopped at the Bamboo Grove. It was a forest of bamboo and it was amazing! We had no idea what to expect, but ended up hiking to 3 different waterfalls that were so cool!

The last night we were there we went to a Luau. The food was so good! We are happy we went, but one is enough for us.

We had some good food while we were there. One of our favorite things to do was getting a shaved ice. Chase had one in a 32 oz. cup with ice cream in the bottom and it was so good! We can't wait for our next trip and hope its sooner rather than later!... Here are some more random photos from the trip.

Sounds like moving was loads of fun. You totally should've called us. I'm so jealous of your trip to Hawaii. I mean don't get me wrong - Juneau is pretty awesome but I would love to go there and just relax for a a week or two. I hope St George is treating you well. We might just have to head down for Labor day or something before you guys take off for school.

Solon- My wife just told me that this blogging stuff was a good way to catch up on people and see how things are going...apparently Maui treated you extremely well- looks like a blast!

I've never met your wife, but if she can do a triathlon, she's a keeper- very impressive!
It'd be nice to bump into you again soon. Take it easy!
