Maui Memories

Here are the first pics from our trip.  Some of the highlights were snorkeling, helicopter ride, sugar cane train, luau, beach, pool, great weather, pineapple everyday and Tarheel basketball.  And speaking of pineapple, I really think Scott ate a whole pineapple everyday.  It became a joke about how much pineapple we were eating.  You can't beat great pineapple for 99 cents!

The kids did GREAT on the plane.  All that worrying I did for nothing!  Bailey loved the plane which was totally different from this past summer.  And they adjusted to the time difference with no problems.  

So I have mentioned that I do not enjoy taking scenery pictures.  So most of these pics are of us having fun.  Maybe I will post a few scenery pics in a few days because we did see God's beautiful hand work.

We stayed in a hotel the first 2 nights.  The kids loved playing on the lawn.  Scott and Bailey enjoyed time at the pool the first day (Keenan and I were taking naps).  However, Bailey was so tired that she fell asleep standing up.  She is just like her momma when it comes to sleep!

We enjoyed having open air breakfast.  It was always a fun time with Maw Maw and Paw Paw.  Maw Maw always had something fun to do in her purse.  We enjoyed relaxing and being together,

I had my first snorkel experience and it was unbelievable.  There were HUGE turtles and fish right there with us.  I got a little concern before we got off the boat when one of the crew said "Please do not grab a turtle and swim with it. And do not come eye to eye with a turtle."  Are you kidding me?  Didn't have to worry about me...I was not about to GRAB a turtle.   The crew was great and made it lots of fun.  Speaking of the crew...do you like how I spelled captain on my photo page...Camptian.  No spell check in Photoshop! 

We enjoyed a night at a Luau.  Bailey and I learned the Hula Dance.  Pictures to follow.  Why is this underlining?  

Well that is it for right now.  More pics to follow and then I need to get started on Christmas.  It's beginning to look like Christmas around the Garrison house.  So check back.

Have a great week!
