The Rest of the Trip

Here are some pics of the rest of our trip!

Callan in our ENORMOUS tub!  Easton couldn't even get in or out of it. 


Callan spent most of his naps propped back in his stroller.


We went to Kaanapali Beach to snorkel on Friday.  It was pretty windy.  Luckily Grandma got the boys some wind hats. 


Callan liked putting his feet into the waves.


Easton liked to throw sand at the waves and then run away from them.




Everyone inching into the water to snorkel.


After that we went home and got showered and let the boys nap.  We went on a drive to find some waterfalls on the road to Hana, but unfortunately our map wasn't matching up and we never found them. My parents took the boys and Tyson and I went on a date before I took him to the airport.  We spent hours driving around looking for a place to eat and ended up at an overpriced Italian place that really wasn't great.  But we enjoyed having some time together.

Tyson ended up having all kinds of issues with his flights!  He finally got home Saturday night and got a good night's sleep before he hit the books.

We spent Saturday at the pool and beach all day and went back to Lahaina for some more shopping and some delicious shaved ice!

Sunday morning we went to church in Lahaina.  The cultural hall was completely packed and there were windows all around that you could see the ocean during church!  It was great.

After church we got packed up and my dad, Kelsey, Katelin, and Cassidy went to find the mysterious waterfalls.  They found them and had a great time!  

When the boys woke up, my mom and the girls and us went to find a goat dairy in Kula.  It took us a while to find it and it had closed an hour before we got there.  But we saw some cute little goats.


We got to the airport and had some ticketing troubles.  While my dad dealt with that, the rest of us dealt with Easton.  Oh he was on one.  I ended up with a fat purple lip which I thought might need stitches and everyone ended up beaten and bruised by his cast.  He kept running away from us in the airport and when we would go get him he would scream and attack us all creating a lot of attention from security.  One of the security ladies got mad at him for going through the x-ray thing when it wasn't his turn and he refused to go through the x-ray thing at all.  It was bad.  Oh he was bad.  On the flight from Maui to Honolulu he spilled a few drops of his juice on his shorts.  He stood up on his chair and flipped out so we had to take off his shorts and he road the whole way to Honolulu in his undies until we landed and got into the airport and found his pajamas.  Stinker.

At one point it was so strange - he looked up at me with his arms folded at his chest and he looked just like Tyson does when he's mad.  But at the same time, he was acting just like me.  It was like I was looking at Tyson and talking to myself at that age.  So weird.  I pulled a similar stunt at Disneyland to my parents:)  Luckily security didn't question anyone this time...


We're glad to be home safely, even in the cold.  Tyson passed his test this morning so it made the whole thing worth it having him there.  It was a great vacation and we loved everything from our sweet suite to our rental mini van.  (Ok I might have been the only one who loved our mini van- seriously it was great.)  We feel so blessed that we were able to go!  Thanks mom and dad!
