Little Things That Make Maui Great!

Here are just a few things that I took pictures of while in Maui. Although some are really small, they add so much to the island!

Okay, this isn't a small thing by any means. This beach was absolutely beautiful. It was a very secluded black sand...black rock beach on the way to Hana. By the way, if you get car sick...don't take the road to Hana...BARF! No I didn't throw up, but I didn't make it to Hana either. It was an absolutely beautiful area, but the road was way to windy.

Here's a picture from my nautious point of view...laying face down on the beach. The rocks weren't so comfy, but when you're sick anything will do.

Pretty Flower! Okay, theere are a ton of pretty flowers and folaige so I won't comment on them all.

Aquaduct of some kind near the waterfall we jumped off


This is just a small part of a park we visited in the mountains towards the center of the island


O' this picture does not do this place justice. There were a million windsurfers in this one area. The water was circling around and those guys were moving as fast as cars. It was really neat to see. I think I want to take up wind surfing now.

My friend the Toad

I LOVE Lily Pads!!!!

Just a cool tree at our hotel

A couple more shots from the park in the mountains
,The Beach...Wish I could have caught one of the big waves, but I was too busy playing
Thanks for stopping by today!

Maui ~ The Wedding

Here are just a few of the photos I took from my trip. There are so many, but this will give you a good idea of how beautiful the actual ceremony was.

Uncle Robb & Aunt Kathie

Father & Mother of the Bride just before we headed to the ceremony

Me & My Hunka-Hunka Rob

Ricky

The guy that says he doesn't have time to take photographs, that he likes to live life instead...
He was behind that camera all night!

These were parasols for guests to use to gaurd against potential rain or the hot sun.

They were a beautiful accent to the beatiful grounds.

These starfish were used for finding your table. Each starfish had a name and year (which was the table number). The tables had pictures of both Saul & Aly from that year. It was a lot of fun looking back to their younger years. Our table was 1988, so you can just imagine the hair styles & Saul's silver suit :)

Just a picture taken at the bar...a place that became extremely crowded later in the evening :)

Sushi appetizers...yum! The food was fantastic, by the way! They had everything!!!

Fans to keep us all cool!

The perfect sunset to end the perfect wedding!

Congrats Aly & Saul!!!

Maui Here We Come!

This picture isn't Maui...but it's close (Oahu, HI)

I'm just about ready to shut down the computer so I can pack it for the trip! I leave the house at 2am, so I'm keeping busy while I wait. If I have wi-fi access in Maui, I'll post some photos of the trip & Aly & Sauls wedding. Hope you all have a great week. We'll miss all of you that can't be there with us!

Girls Just Wanna Get Pretty!

On Madi's Birthday, I picked her up early from summer camp and took her and her cousin Makayla to the mall for some fun. We first stopped for a snack at starbucks (Grandma & I hadn't eaten lunch yet and we were starving!). The girls had fun having there milk & cookies before we headed to Libby Lu's for a make-over.

Makayla

Wow, that's a big bite!

Silly Girls!

Gross!

Okay, It's time to get Pretty...

Once we got to Libby Lu's, it was a little crowded and we had to wait for an opening. This didn't bother the girls one bit. They just walked around the store and shopped, put glitter on, shopped and put more glitter on...Then finally it was their turn. They turned into Diva's within minutes. Check them out...

We had a great time...And they were beautiful! We'll have to do this again with all of the cousins.

Thanks for stopping by and seeing two very special girls today!

I will cherish this day forever!
