Lahaina & Snorkel Trip

Our last few days in Maui were great. We went to Lahaina with most of our fam and looked around the shops. We were going to all try to have dinner together before going to another Hula show in Kaanapali but it didn't work out, so half of the group had dinner at Bubba Gumps and had a great view.











The day before heading home almost everyone who attended the wedding went on a snorkel boat trip to Molokini and Turtle Town. We had a huge group so it was fun to all be together. I was not sure how the girls were going to do on the boat but when I called the advice nurse the night before, she said don't worry about the kids they will be fine... and she was right. The girls did awesome. We snorkeled at Molokini and it was very clear and beautiful. Allie said she wanted to snorkel and was very excited about the gear but did not want to get in the water. She enjoyed watching the fish in the glass bottom of the boat and saw turtles from the deck. We could see turtles from the boat and I wish I had my zoom lens with me. They were pretty awesome to see in the water too. When we arrived in "turtle town" everyone was a bit skeptical because we didn't see turtles right away. Then you would be snorkeling along, and all of a sudden there would be a huge sea turtle right in front of you....pretty cool. We had a great trip and it was totally worth the money. Geoff is trying to figure out how we could make a living to be able to live in Maui. I told him I would run a shaved ice hut ;o) When we were walking through the Grand Wailea Allie said "lets live here forever" and we said we don't have jobs or a house and she said "oh we could move our Woodland house here and dad could be a principal in Maui" if it was only that easy!!! Can't wait 'til our next trip!!
