Lot's of Maui Pictures






























We're home and it felt sooooo good to hold Rylee and hug the girls. Mike and I had a blast. It was really refreshing and they gave us a lot more free time this year. Mike and I also went a day early and left a day later so that was really nice. We went snuba diving, (no, I didn't spell that wrong). It's in between snorkeling and scuba diving. You use oxygen but it's attached to a 20 ft. tube that is attached to the oxygen that is floating on top of the water on a raft. Make sense? LOL! It was AWESOME! The ocean freaks me out but I wasn't scared when I was down there. I saw huge turtles and a pregnant white tip shark that was WAYYYY bigger than the lady made it sound, look above and I think you'll agree! There are a ton more snuba pictures so if we can bore you with some more, let us know!
It was nice not being pregnant this year. I'm posting a picture of each night we were at an event and as you'll see, most of them we are holding Mai Tai's or champagne. They had them waiting on trays to hand out when we walked in and sense we always tried to get a picture right away so we wouldn't forget, we look like heavy drinkers!
Mike and I also learned something on this trip. The ocean and kayaking don't mix with us. We signed up to do the kayaking and snorkeling with the turtles excursion. Mike and I were both so seasick we paddled back with a guide after the first stop. Not even being in the water helped. I think they lost at least a third of the group though, so we weren't alone. In fact some friends we met from last year were supposed to go and when we left they weren't on the bus. We wondered why until we found out that they had been tipped off about the seasickness so they opted to skip. It was a smart move! We did see a nice big turtle though, so it wasn't a total loss!
Mike is forwarding more pictures we downloaded onto his work computer so I'll post more later.
The Goo Goo Dolls also gave everyone a private concert and that was cool because most farmers agent's are, shall we say, getting up there in age, so it wasn't that large of a crowd by the stage. We were really close to the band

Looks like you guys had a blast! I don't think I would have been quite as brave as you and swam with sharks! I'm sure the girls and Nana and Papa are all glad you've returned :) Can't wait to see more pics!
