Hawaii

It is Sunday...Dave and I are alone here and have had some quiet time. We went to the Mercedez-Benz golf tournament today. We had to be quiet...it is a very different atmosphere than the Arizona Cardinals Football game. We drove to Hana and the "7 pools" yesterday. We left about 7 and got back home about 8pm. We hiked up to a waterfall above the pools. It was amazing, we walked through bamboo on a boardwalk, across a few bridges and ended up 2 miles up the mountain at a 400' water fall. After all that work we went down and I swam in the pool and Dave stuck his feet in. We were able to go on a Catamaran with Tom and had a great time. We saw whales and turtles and got to jump off the boat while we were sailing and float underneath the hull and climb up the back. Josiah and the boys and Chelsey and Whit went. Melanie stayed at the beach with the twins. We went to Big Beach and Flemming Beach. It has been tons of fun. We will be back to the snow and cold on Wednesday. Can't wait to see Rachelle, Shawn and the kids and Casey and Luke. We have lots to do when we get home!

We are having a great time in Maui as evidenced in the pictures! The biggest problem I am having is sleeping in. I wake up between 5 and 6am and can't go back to sleep. It doesnt get light until about 7 so I decided this morning to update this blog.
We have had fun at the beach, shopped at the flea market, rode a zip line....that was fun and very scary, and have swam in the pool and soaked int the hot tub every day. The skies are blue and the sun is hot. How can you help but have a good time here. We are gong out on a sail boat this morning. More fun awaits!!
The big news in case you haven't checked out Casey's blog is that she is engaged!!! The date is set for March 13th. We are all very excited. Welcome to the family Luke!!!
