Days 10 and 11

Day 10.

Sadly we are on the tail end of the trip. It has been good. Of course we are now really ourselves… we are getting up later and we are not leaving the Maui House until after 11. As a family we are all very lethargic when it comes to getting ready and leaving… plus we overpack and we always forget something.

Oh well.

We hit the baby beach again today and the tide was way in. The surf was high and the surfers were out in force. There were great breakers and some good pipeline as well. Maybe we will take some surfing lessons… Maybe.

The beach was fun and Alison and Jayden got to swim a lot. Kallee and I stayed on the beach and Kallee jumped the waves. Then the kids and Alison created a great sand castle. Kallee decorated it with shells and nut parts. Jayden built a huge moat and a great wall to protect the castle. We then came home and had a good meal and then it was cards and off to bed.

Jayden and Kallee also wrote letters to the family and hopefully they get it by the time we leave.

Alison really loves the time we are spending together as a family and the kids are really loving life. They are pretty happy with the exception of the “I am so tired” crying explosions people have. But right now Jayden is watching movies in his room and getting ready to fall asleep. And Kallee and Mommy are talking and laughing in their room and just being happy together…

It is a good life.

Day 11,

We got up earlier and we still did not leave until 10… crazy. The kids got to get squirt guns which they used in the ocean. The water was way up the beach and it was cloudy and I still got a burn… ah life. We also picked up some family t-shirts and had a wonderful day again at the beach.

We ate at the Lahaina Pizza and it was awesome. Good food and great atmosphere.. the place is right on the beach and we got a beach front table… It was a great time. We went to the Old Baynon Tree to let Kallee and Jayden play on it. They love climbing it.

It was a very nice relaxing and great day. It is nice to feel vacation… it is nice to feel you are just part of the earth. I kept watching Kallee dig a big hole and sit in it, Alison helping and reading a book. I say Jayden swim and boogie board and swim over the coral reefs without being scared. Then I looked out and saw the breaking waves and the pipelines and the other Islands; the Molakini Crater, Lain’I,I Molokai, and Kahoolawe and thinking to myself… this is was I am supposed to do not.. enjoy great atmosphere and great family… we are so very lucky.
