heaven

I went a little overboard on the pics for Rachel.


Off to Maui... We spent the first 3 nights in Wailea And then moved to Kaanapali and settled into our little piece of heaven. This was our breakfast nook with a view of the humpbacks The kids loved the pirate ship (and yes I made them wear these matching mullet hats the whole week) BIG deal that our completely freaked out little swimmer is sliding head first into the water. It was abnormally windy while we were there so the beach was not a happy place. The kids tolerated the sand whipping their faces for about 20 minutes and then we were out.

The best part about the trip was hanging out with my sister

and her boyfriend, Sam, who live in Anchorage.

Rich and Chris had a hard time keeping up with 23 year old Sam

but loved the excuse to golf, snorkel, watch basketball games,

visit the pool bar, etc. with him.



Our favorite travel companion, Auntie Deesh.
The dudes new favorite thing is to hug and then

body slam eachother.

Sweet but I see many bloody faces in the future.

One of many reasons the worship their Bomp.


We all slept hard.






We waited in line for almost 2 hours for breakfast at the Gazebo.

Charlie was not impressed.


Charlie was frozen in this position for about

10 minutes while Lulu gave him a back tickle.

One of the million reasons they worship her.




Waiting for our car to go to dinner

We probably ate 10,000 calories a day.
And had some of my favorite meals ever.

Heading home.

Not happy to be back to normal.

We miss you Maui.

And will be back in 730 days.

Oooooh, this is where you've been. It looks FABULOUS!!! Now it makes me even that much sadder that we are not bringing the kiddos when we go. Wah. Nothing a stiff drink won't get me through (one drink...who am I kidding). You guys all look so refreshed and TAN. It does look like a little bit of heaven.

So jealous! We also have the hug/body slam action going on over here. Miss you guys. But don't come over until the tan fades ;)

I can't even express to you via a blog comment just how JEALOUS I am that you were in Hawaii. What a perfect trip with your gorgeous family. Loved every pic/detail. It was my one little ray of sunshine for this ugly mid-40s Seattle spring day. UGH.
