Our last day we drove into Lahina to show the kids the Largest banyan Tree in the US...It's pretty cool. Pic of Mom and her to little nuggets of joy on the beach.

Family pics in front of Rainbow Eucalyptus trees.

Playing in the warm Maui rain. Jake thoroughly enjoyed his soaking...he was literally giddy with delight.

Family photo at our visit to the grave of Charles Limbergh (noted aviator).

Great banyan tree in front of the church were Limbergh is buried.

Enjoying awesome Thai food...I mean..awesome!! Pranna, cooks on Sundays and mondays only, starting at 11am until the food is gone...so you better come early.

My view every morning from the family room in the Hana House. We picked our own bannanas, star fruit, guava, lilly coi, limes, and lemons. Yummy...we also enjoyed the best papaya and avacodoes I have ever had...fresh picked from a neighbors yard.

Wianapanapa State Park

Just down the road from the Hana house is an awesome state park with a black sand beach, blow hole, and caves where a legendary Hawaiian princess hid to escape an unwanted marraige.

Hamoa Beach

Hamoa Beach is a great black sand beach...with good surf to do a little body surfing. And of course enough sand for the kiddos to dig to there hearts content.

Hana Bay

Our first trip to Hana Bay, Jake took a much needed nap. That same afternoon Hana was having a film feastival at the Bay..so we also enjoyed some great local entertainment.

Hana Bay isn't the greatest beach, but because of the coral reef it breaks up the wave action and it a great beach for the kids to play in the water. If you can't tell Addie loved digging and playing in the sand and Jake loved chasing the surf in and out.

Venus Pool

Some locals, Thomas and Tiffany, took us to this great spot. Through a barbed wire fence and a short walk through a field. then down the rock cliffs...it was awesome. A little nerve racking with the little ones, but we had a blast. Thank heavens Thomas brought his surf board so we could float Addie and Jake out into the pool and over to the rock beach. The pool is extremely deep...so of course we had to do some cliff jumping. Addie right after jumping off a 5ft cliff. Mom was to slow with the camera to get an inmotion pic. Justin jumping 30ft cliff. Jackson being cute. On our way to the pool.
