Family Reunion in Maui
















We are enjoying the sun and surf in maui with the Finleys and Robbins in Maui. Today we dipped in the ocean, ate fresh pineapple, Maui chips, fish tacos and pas-o-guav juice, played with water balls in the pool with all the kids, drove to see the Nakalele blowhole and swam in the Olivine Pools. The Nakalele blowhole was like witnessing Old Faithful up close (We were soaked) and it blew every few seconds. It was really incredible!! Then we went to see the Olivine pools. From a lookout about 300 feet above sea level, we climbed down a trail of rocks and mud to sea level, where we swam in the calm waters of a lava ledge with the fierce pounding of the open ocean surrounding us on three sides. It was really fun. Jack found a little hermit crab with white feet. There were other crabs and fish swimming in the pools, too. We crawled on top of the lava and swam in little and big holes in the lava. Then we drove on a one-lane road with sheer cliff on one side to a little converted school bus for smoothies. What a great day and so wonderful to be with family again.

Kirstin, it sounds like you are having way too much fun. Hope so because it has snowed here in Orem the last couple of days, and it is FREEZING! It is so cold today, that there is ice on the road again. I want to come to Hawaii. PLEASE adopt me ASAP. Lots of Love, Tammy
