What a beautiful, blessed time we had a family and friends. Two weeks in one of our favorite places.
Our good friends, Eric and Crystal, and baby ‘Z’, joined us. First week was at our timeshare.
The plane ride over….
The view from our room…
David and the boys, heading for breakfast in Napili…the boys played in the sand while waiting to be seated.
David’s mom and her husband, Randy, joined us as well! Here we are enjoying dinner at the Aloha Mixed Plate.
A little jungle hike to Honolua Bay. Typically, this bay is an ideal spot for snorkeling. However, on the day we visited, it was murky, and there was enough surf for surfers off the point. I had never seen this before.
Hanging with our baby girl…
The boys thought this tree was cool and wanted me to take a picture of them being eaten by it 🙂
Stopped at a tourist Hawaiian plantation in Wailuku. Then, on to Iao Valley…
Our Washington friends (now California friends), the Jenks, were there as well. They have a timeshare at the same place we do. We coordinated dates so we’d be there at the same time. Here is Ann and I, chillin’ by the pool.
Lovely Kaanapali beach at sunset…
There is a restaurant we have been going to for years called Java Jazz/Soup Nutz. The owner takes photos of customers he likes. About 8 years ago, he took a picture of David and I when we were on a date night. We found the photo near where we were sitting…
Our second week was spent at the other property we typically stay at. Napili Shores. Here are the boys clowning around with Wikisticks, while eating at The Gazebo restaurant.
One of the reasons we coordinated dates with John and Ann is because John was our pastor in Washington. He dedicated the boys and baptized David and I back in Washington. The boys wanted to be baptized at their favorite beach on Maui. Here is John, doing some pre-baptism counseling with the boys, poolside.
