Judi got Maui'd

WE'RE BACK!!! We had a lot of fun in Maui. It started off with Judi's wedding. She looked so beautiful, and the ceremony couldn't have been more perfect. The ocean was the backdrop for the ceremony...talk about a wedding in paradise! The rest of the trip we did Hawaii type things - went to the beach a lot, went snorkeling, boating, fishing, hiking (well, sort of), went up into the mountains to see where Lionel grew up, visited the winery, went to a luau...all sorts of fun stuff. And of course, Bob's favorite thing of all was the shaved ice - with ice cream at the bottom. He wishes he could eat that everyday. Here are some pics from our trip (WARNING: there are a lot of them!):

He's our little sand monster Jake even loved eating sand! YUCK!

Jake hates hiking...
He hates it THIS MUCH!!!

But he sure loved this statue!

Awww, aren't we precious?

Whew - that took a long time to load all of those pictures! We had a fabulous time and we wish we didn't have to come home - it was too soon! We certainly intend on heading back to Hawaii in the near future.

Natalie,
Your blog is great!! I loved seeing all those pictures too. This is inspiring me to either start a blog, or go to Maui, . . . I'm not sure which!!
