Maui 1-2

Maui
March 19 (Travel Day) - March 20 (Pool Day)

After a five hour plane ride from California, three hours of it with Lucas crying!, we finally made it to
Maui.  We got leis when we checked in at our Hyatt Resort home for the week, to the absolute elation of the girls.  Here we are right after we arrived.

We went straight over to see the penguin pond, and visited it often during our trip.

We were all so tired on our first night that we just explored the hotel a little, had dinner, and then settled into our room.  We all fell asleep by 7:30 that night.  The kids couldn't wait to go in the pool the next morning.  Lucas got us all up at 4:00 am. and we were all in the pool by 8:00 am.

Matisyn went over to the pool desk with Grandma to get a "small" floatie to play with in the pool.  She came back with the whale!  She named him "Lil' Diver."

Aunt Linda is not a swimmer, but she enjoyed relaxing in the shade by the pool.

The other side of the pool was a kid oasis.  It had a sandy, rocky bottom, animals shooting water, water spouting and a water slide.  All three kids probably went down the slide hundreds of times!

I love this picture of my three happy swimmers!

The afternoon of our first pool day we met up with John and Ayme at our pool, and the cousins had a happy reunion.

We got a lot of looks walking to the elevator and trying to fit the whale inside!
