We spent a lot of time at the beach. Tyler is such a beach bum and loves skim boarding. This is him at Big Beach Makena, a top Skim Boarding spot in Maui. We couldn't really play in the water here, it was too rough. The water broke right on the shore, as you can see in that humongous crash--it was more like an explosion. So we got a lot of sun and relaxation!
The pictures above also include a pic of Tyler about to snorkel...but it looks like the wave is going to get him.On another beach, I buried Dakota in the sand. It was actually pretty fun, hehe. I'm not sure which beach this was-there were way too many we visited. We went to Kaanapali Beach, Napili Beach, Makena Beach, Kapalua Beach, South Kaanapali Beach, and maybe more!
We took a really fun excursion to Molokini Crater and snorkeled with the fishies. You could see so deep and so many fun fish. This was beautiful! Here's Mom and Dakota getting ready to get into the water.
On the ride back from the crater, we were accompanied by dolphins. They were riding the bow of the boat. They were so cute and playful. There was even a baby dolphin.
We drove the Hana Coast one day, and it took all day. It was so beautiful! So many sharp cliffs, black sand beaches, hidden water falls, and beautiful scenery. There was one beach we went to that was a lava beach, sharp black rocks formed the shore. At the end of the Hana Coast was the Oheo Pools (7 Sacred Pools). We cliff dived and Mom swam to the waterfall.
There were so many beautiful flowers! I wish we could grow tropical plants here!
Mom and Dakota took a helicopter ride over Maui and to Molokai. Molokai was were they filmed the Jurassic Park scenery. They had such a fun time. I couldn't believe my Mom got in a helicopter. They're both so daring on vacation!
The middle of the island was so green and beautiful. We hiked up to the Ioa Needle in Ioa Valley. It was so beautiful!
The last night, we finished off the trip with a traditional Old Lahaina Luau. This was really fun!
