Hawaii is still fun--in case you were wondering.

Cliff jumping at Venus pools.  Always a favorite. 



Jackson--the bravest little dude in the world.    This jump is so high that when we took a friend and his son with us-- the friend told Jackson that if he would jump off it then he would too.  Little did our friend know, that Jackson was such a crazy kid.  Jackson didn't even hesitate-- he just ran and jumped right off as soon as we got there.  Our friend was shocked!  I don't think he was very excited about having to jump off.    Ha. Ha.  Never, ever make a bravery bet with Jackson.  


Max was super excited to hike the Pipiwai trail to see a big waterfall. 


Kate can paddle board better than me!

Jackson can, too.  Okay, so almost everyone at the beach that day can paddle board better that I can. 

We decided to buy a few more chicks to add to our hen house.   We've learned you can't have enough fresh eggs. 




A little hike and snorkel adventure we did past pocket red sand beach.  




Fagan's cross.  





Pizza night with the hippies.  It was an eye-opener for the kids. "What's that smell, Mom?"  They also learned some fun hula hoop tricks--and the pizza wasn't bad either.  We walked back home under a sky full of stars.  


All from our property!!!!


We had an unwanted guest for a few nights.  He thought he should eat our papaya and poop all over our house and chew our screens.  We thought he might enjoy a nice permanent stay in rat heaven--so we sent him there. 



If middle school doesn't work out, we thought we could get Kate a job at the circus as a bearded lady.  










We weren't eaten by Sharks but we did have fun learning about them at the Maui Ocean Center.

Heaven. I'm so jealous. I've been watching reruns of LOST and (don't judge me for the R rating) The Descendants just so I can feel closer to Hawaii. I'm glad you guys had such a party. And what is that little mailbox toaster oven the rat was lying in? Is that some sort of rat trap??
