Aloha!!!!

We took the kids to Hawaii for the first time...Maui with the Pacellis and had an amazing time! We can't wait to go back and K would like to live there! The kids and G got along famously! They swam, played games (including a weeklong game of monopoly!), searched for sea creatures (K will tell you immediately how they caught 2 sea cucumbers!), fed the koi each morning, made leis, saw penguins (what?!!!), and built sand castles. B discovered a love for snorkling...we saw giant sea turtles right off the beach! We paddle boarded, boogie boarded, and mostly pooled it (lava flow, anyone?). I even snuck away for a yogalates class overlooking the ocean and a beautiful rainbow; Patrick fit in a round of golf, or 5; and we had a few nights out for some grown-up dinners! We ate fish every night (B was eating everything, including octopus!), and even went to our first luau (see K's pictures below). It was wonderful and amazing!!!
