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
