A couple of days after school got out we took our kids, plus our niece Kayla, to the island of Maui. There were hundreds of pictures taken. Hopefully, over the next couple of posts I will be able to share some of our favorites.
The first day there we got up early and went to breakfast at our favorite spot: "The Gazebo" in Napili. After that we headed to the other side of the island for some hiking. Here are the kids at the Iao Needle. Quite the animated face Nathan! ;)
A lot of hiking in Maui is over slippery boulders and down riverbeds. Hold on tight!
Once we made it downstream a bit we came to the location we desired. We rested there and soaked in the beauty.
Others were brave enough to get in the waterfall.
Here are Danny and Kayla getting quite refreshed from the heat.
After hiking we headed into Lahaina for some Shave Ice. Can't beat it! They put a scoop of ice cream on the bottom and pour cream over the top.
We ate and hung out in the shade of Banyan Tree Park. It is quite an amazing thing to see. These are some of the details I found on the Internet: This Banyan Tree was first planted in April, 1873, and marked the 50th Anniversary of Christian missionary work in Lahaina. The tree was imported from India was only 8 feet tall. It now stands over 60 feet high, has 12 major trunks in addition to a huge core. It stretches over a 200-foot area and shades 2/3 of an acre.
Wow! What a busy day! Now on to some of the night life that we love so much in Maui.
