We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving on Maui. We were able to spend 10 great days having fun in the sun and surf, and we loved every single one of them! Thanks Dad for sharing your beautiful house with us!!! We spent the mornings at the beach where Catherine, Hunter, Ciara, and eventually Kai spent hours riding the waves on their boogie boards chasing the local fish! Sophie and Holly invented their own game of "tag" with the waves and spent hours either running back and forth with the waves or making "sand mud" and pouring it on each other. Afternoons were spent at the pool where Sophie and Kai learned to swim! Holly is still a year away from swimming but had much fun in the kiddie pool. Catherine worked hard on her tan, and Ciara and Hunter invented swimming obstacle courses in the pools. By evening all the kids fell into bed exhausted and Mike and I were able to spend some wonderful nights sitting out on the Lanai star gazing and enjoying a glass of wine together. We felt like the luckies people in the world!
