Maui Family Fun

The family spent 5 days in Maui.  The first was just to relax at our Ohana and get settled in.  We had dinner with some friends on the island.  It was a very festive affair.

On day two, we hung out at our friends' place where the kids got a chance to drink and taste some coconut water and meat.  It was a new experience for them to see the coconut get cut in front of their eyes.  Afterwards, they took us for a short hike to a waterfall.  The kids enjoyed it, especially Joshua, because of the water, the narrow pathways, the rock climbing. We also got a chance to see a crazy guy jump from a height of 20 feet into the pool.  That was scary to see.  (some of these pictures are from our friend, Anna).

Heading on the hike with energy and zeal!

Reaching our final destination - we all relaxed and enjoyed the view and refreshing water.

Curious by what's inside a coconut  - Sophia takes a cautious approach.  Turns out later that she is allergic to coconut meat & milk (but not the water).

Coconut Hugger.

Coconut Lover.

Enjoying a little snack while watching a very captivating show on TV - don't remember what it was though, maybe Sleeping Beauty?

On day three, we headed to a resort in Wailea (SW part of Maui) to enjoy their shallow warm pools.  Sophia met her love (no, not Doug - the water).  Kids had a great time and adults got a chance to be kids again by sliding down the waterslide.  Pix by Anna.
