Maui!!

Wow! Day 5 ALREADY!!! Maui has been amazing! Great beaches, great pool, great towns so much fun. Our condo is so nice and big enough for all of us, we're literally about 10 steps from the pool, about 20 steps from the beach. We took a glass bottom boat ride and saw 2 octopus. The kids have been practicing snorkeling in the pool and we're ready to hit the beach tomorrow!

We made it! Maui Airport
The grounds of Kaanapali Shores Resort

Our first night here--walking along the beach

Party time!

We celebrated Kaycee's birthday yesterday. Her birthday is actually March 30th, but we'll be in Hawaii. She had several friends over for a dancing party! We did the Hokey Pokey, the Cha Cha Slide, the Limbo, the Bunny Hop, Freeze Dance and the Macerana. Then the girls danced to the Hamster Dance and Who Let the Dogs Out. We also had the balloon stomp, which is where the kids stomp on balloons that are filled with candy to pop them. Kaycee had a doughnut cake and we made snow cones! Happy Early Birthday!




Kaycee's present was a new beach cruiser! Just like Mom's!

Desert Fun 1

We've had fun the last few weekends heading to the desert to ride. We went to Ocotillo Wells Feb. 20, 21 and then Gordon's Well March 6th and 7th. We went with Josh and Mimi both times.

Smore's anyone?


Matthew wears his gear most of the day so he can jump on any quad that come by him.

Desert Fun 2

Gordon's Well trip.
We met Josh and Mimi, and Brett and Elisa.


We're not surfing Kaycee! We're riding!
Who says you have to have snow to go sledding?


We had fun with Daffy, the pet bird.

Dad, can you take me for a ride? This is what Gary hears ALL day! Like Father, like Son!


It was fun to cruise around in a Ranger again! Thanks for sharing Brett and Elisa!
