Maui 2018!

Aloha! We returned to Maui for our anniversary vacation trip this year. The view from our lanai did not disappoint!

We wasted no time getting into the water the next morning (read: Nathan got up at 5am ... he is not great at the time change game). 

We had a lot of fun splashing in the waves,

and playing with sand toys.

Nathan also enjoyed the special sandy bottom kids play area at the pool.

The next day we took Nathan on a long-awaited "big motor boat" snorkel trip. They had these really cool boards with glass viewing spots on them so Nathan could see in the water without snorkeling. He enjoyed it for about a minute, and then he wanted to get back on the boat.

Jesse and I took turns snorkeling, and saw a ton of cool fish swimming around the boat and feeding on the rocks.

Our boat also had a glass bottom viewing area, which Nathan loved. Jesse snorkeled along the side of the boat a few times and took pictures of us from the water. Nathan loved seeing Jesse being a "diver"! To top it off, I saw a reef shark from the glass bottom of the boat, though not while I was in the water.

It was a lovely trip out to the Molokini crater.

Jesse and Nathan had some quality dad-son time at the pool while I did a little work. Nathan loved going through the waterfall "tunnel" over and over again.

He also loved getting in the hammocks, but it was a lot more giggling and swinging as opposed to relaxing and swaying!
