Maui Vacation

Here are some pics from our Maui vacation. We had such a good time. We went with my parents and all my brothers and sisters and their spouses. We have such a good time together. There isn't a bunch of people I would rather go on vacation with. This is the beach I would run on every morning. It was so beautiful and I felt like I could go forever.


Thanks Matt for posting a picture of me in my swimsuit!! Here I am on the Hula Girl. We all went sailing on this amazing boat (minus Scott and Kim and Steve Sperry). It was really windy and cold that day. The waves were huge. Getting out to the boat was the most exciting part. Usually they just pull us to the shore and you walk right on but the waves were too big!! We had to get into this little dingy and then try to get everyone in and get back out before the huge waves would come in. Matt and I were at the front of the dingy and let's just say we were soaked!! We sailed for a little while and then stopped to watch some whales. I have never seen as many whales as I did on this trip. We sailed a little bit longer and then stopped to go snorkeling. We saw so many turtles. We would just follow them around. I got a little nervous when one started swimming right toward me.



Here is the dingy with Dad and Sue and Jeff. My Dad is so brave. I didn't think he was going to make it and we almost lost my Mom transfering her from the little boat to the big boat. I think we all just about had a heart attack!!


Sue and I at dinner at the Hula Grill. I think I gained 10 lbs. from all the food on this trip. We had a huge buffet breakfast every morning. We were so full we wouldn't have to eat lunch. Then we went out to dinner every night. Our favorite place was Leilani's on the beach. There fish tacos were amazing. We didn't discover the Hula Pie til one of the last days. It was the best dessert!!

Matt did a ton of golfing. He can't sit still when we are on vacation. So I had lot of time to myself to sit by the pool and read the final book in the twilight series. I also got to spend some time with my parents since this will probably be one of the last big family trips we will take together. One of the funny things that kept happening on the trip was that people kept asking us if we were a polygamist. There was always a group of girls and then one of the boys would come with us. I guess that they way it looked.
