Maui 2008

We had a wonderful trip to Maui. We spent almost every day on the beach. The weather was wonderful. We had sun everyday and a little wind. On our favorite beach we were able to get out of the wind which helped with McKenon. I was amazed how well Lachlan did this year in the water. He was body surfing, boogie boarding, trying to catch fish in the ocean. He also enjoyed swimming in the pool. At first Cohen was a little cautious but that did not last long. He was swimming with his water wings on and even getting tossed by waves...loving every minute of it. We found Mack to be very island compatible. He was great. He slept for 1-3 hours every day on the beach, ate, smiled and slept some more. Never fussed all day except around dinner time when he was ready for bed. As you can imagine everyone wanted to hold him. He's such a good baby.

I managed to get out almost every day for a VERY early morning walk/jog. I usually was walking by 6 am because the boys were up early every morning (they never got real used to the 3-hour time change). Drew tried to go walking after I got back. I found the mornings very peaceful and it was nice just to have some time to myself. Unfortunately because we were up so early we were also to bed very early...we were so tired from playing all day long in the water. I got to snorkel with my neice, Madi quite a bit which was really fun. We even got to see turtles. Drew loved body surfing.

The highlight of our trip was seeing Gretchen. She totally surprised us because she was not suppose to be on Maui. She was only going to be there for 24 hours and we got to spend about 3 hours with her. It was so special...thanks again Gretchie!

We went to Maui on our honeymoon 10 years ago....we would love to go back, I often say when it gets cold and snowing in Wisonsin that I am packing my bags for Maui! I loved your pictures they make me want to go pack my bags and hop on a plane right now. Glad you had a great time.
P.S. Very cute pictures of the boys, those are some very adorable kids you have.
