Christmas is coming!

At least one is looking forward to santa coming!  

More Hawaii

We finally got around to downloading the rest of the pictures from the camera.  Here are some highlights from the second half of our trip.  We stayed at the Grand Wailea, which was quite grand to say the least.  Scott, grandma and grandpa came and we hung out on the beach, played in the hotel's 9 swimming pools/water slides, went on a snorkeling trip on Scott's birthday, and attended a luau where Abe and I learned to hula on the stage.  With the cold weather this week, it sure would be nice to be back in Maui.

 Abe and Neil liked to "ride the waves", which basically looked like this.

 We went to the kula botanical gardens, which reminded us a lot of kabota gardens.

 When we arrived at the Grand Wailea we all got greeted with leis.

 Like father, like son.

 Like father, like daughter.

 cute kids.

 Abe actually jumped into the water from the boat.  I think he had a good time.

 Mei Li stayed on the boat for the trip.

 Abe got really into going down the water slides.  Look out Great Wolf Lodge!

 Poor Mei Li didn't have a neck when she wore her life jacket.

Walking through the lazy river.

 Weee!  What you don't see is that at the bottom I somehow got sucked under while trying to keep Mei Li afloat.  Oops.

Luau fun!
