Our sand artists


The creations!











DT Flemming Beach

Tiff and Derrick

It was stormy and cold at the beach, waves were big and Ted got knocked on his head. Only the crazy went boogie boarding today. Winners of crazy are: Ashley and Derrick and Tiana

Tiana just did it a few times

Here is the pics of our sad attemps to make some sand castles....all you "Church" sand castle artists don't laugh....we had fun and that's what counts right?

Honolua Bay - Snorkling

Trev and Summer, Ty and Ash, Tiana, Tiff and Derrick getting ready to hike down to the beach.
Smiling and ready. Ted and I and Summer went back to the Condo. We were tired and the hike was steep and slippery from all the rain.


The snorkling was amazing, just no sandy beach to sit on.

Maui...the end first

On the last day we had to check out of our Condo in the morning and didn't fly out until 10:00pm at night. We had some time to kill. We chose to go see the "needle" in the Iao valley near the airport. It was so lush and green, and just gorgeous.

Whale watching group

Heading out to sea to find some Whales. We were so excited and just hoped we could see some! Tiff and Derrick decided not to go on this adventure, they stayed at the Condo and cooked amazing Prime Rib and Ham and funeral potatoes for a yummy Christmas Eve dinner!

Whale Watching....Maui

The Whale watching was incredible! We went out onoe afternoon out of Lahaina and saw many many whales and several bottlenose dolphins. It was so amazing to watch them play, fight, romance, etc. It had rained a lot that day and so there were incredible rainbows as well.














Amazing Maui
