this week was spent vacationing in hawaii. it began with the six hour flight to maui where parker slept, played on our laps, & read magazines with sam. he did awesome.
tuesday was our first full day in maui. christie, kim, & i laid out by the pool while the guys played with their snorkel gear like little boys. we then went & got some hawaiian shave ice, which was amazing. no seriously. they put ice cream at the bottom & top it with a hawaiian sweet cream. the sunset was awesome. i'm not sure life gets any better.
we left the condo at 4:00 am wednesday morning to watch the sunrise at kaleakala crater. totally worth the car sickness from the windy mountain switchbacks & the loss of sleep. it was gorgeous. we stopped in a small town on the way back for breakfast & browsed some surf shops. i was pretty close to buying a big floppy hat but held out. the rest of the day was spent hanging out & bbq-ing burgers. no big deal.
thursday morning we found p-ray in his bed with his blanket up over his head. crazy kid. we lounged around the house most the day {apparently parker enjoyed lounging across kim's lap} & then drove an hour or so for a pretty sweet hike. we finished the night off with some mexican food.
and maybe i ate three baskets of chips & salsa.
sam, parker, & i got up early & went for a little family stroll down the main streets of kihei this morning & took time to stop & smell the hibiscus. then christie & i played a pretty intense game of tennis against ryan & ben, who barely beat us. they got lucky. that afternoon we headed out to big beach & played in the water & watched the sun go down.
maui, you complete me.
did you take your "week in camera phone" pictures?
there's only one rule to linking up... your pictures have to be taken by your camera phone. that's it! you don't even have to have a picture for every day. got one camera phone pic of something fun from this week? link up!
grab the code below & put it in your post to have the linky with all the thumbnails show up on your blog too. the more kids who come out to play, the more fun it will be, right?
