Hawaii

We had the amazing opportunity to go to Maui with Conner's parents, his brother Doug and his wife Jami. We had so much fun and loved spending time in the sun! We found these little crabs just outside Cheeseburger in Paradise while we waited for a table.
This is the Blow Hole. We didn't go at high tide so we didn't see anything too exciting, but the view was beautiful.

The Road to Hana: This was an all day trip along the coastline of Maui. We stopped at every hike and waterfall along the highway as we ventured to our final destination, The Seven Sacred Pools.
"Me Tarzan..."
Doug and Conner being adventurous and swimming under a beautiful waterfall.
There were miles and miles of bamboo fields along the way. It was incredible.
We made it to the Seven Sacred Pools! Conner decided to be daring and jump off this three foot cliff. It was pretty scary, but he came out unharmed.
Our twelve hour trip was definitely worth it. We left just as the sun was setting on the pools.
We woke up early and took a boat out to Molokini and Turtle town to go snorkeling. Molokini is an extinct volcano...the top of the crater barely sticks out of the ocean.
The snorkeling was great. We saw multiple turtles and even saw an eel attack an octopus. We felt like we were in the middle of a National Geographic documentary.
We spent lots of time in Lahaina eating and shopping. This is a banyan tree in the center of Lahaina that has grown to be 50 feet tall and over 200 feet across. It was amazing.
Hawaiian shave ice...there's nothing like it.

The trip was so much fun. Thanks Craig and Jerrie for making it possible.
