Mid winter break in Maui

The whale watching in Maui was fun, and except for this breech,

it doesn't hold a candle to the whale watching off Grand Manan
The beauty and wonder of God's creations continue to awe and inspire me

this trip was for relaxing and reading and...

hiking and...

and jumping....

and diving...

and exploring....

now, that is what I call a gingerbread house

Some people like to fly, Lake Powell 2010

who taught these boys how to play poker?

Charlotte had fun in and out of the boat,

she got to know so many more cousins

and Benson got to drive the boat

the landscapes are awesome

these kids have ADD

they can not sit still, not for a minute...

they are never happy with the tube they are given,

it always looks greener...

now they are all on the green one

the drive is beautiful too.

Maggie is a pretty darn good swimmer

lounging time (or is that posing)

the many faces of Holly

I had a lot of fun knocking them off and taking the photos

get your hand off my tube

Faces of Holly again

see what happens when you overload my tube

Let me remind you that this is all happening while moving about 30 miles/hour

somebody had to go down

unless you're the lead dog, the view is the same
