Oooohhhhhh, how I love these lazy mornings!
When we first checked into our hotel we were in a first floor room that didn't have a view of anything. It had a nice little garden, but also opened up onto a tarp announcing more construction on the other side. I called the front desk and asked about upgrading and they were nice enough to comp us an upgrade. We got this room that had an extra little area with an extra pull out bed and it had this beautiful view.......
After having a lazy morning we got up and headed to The Maui Ocean Center - The Hawaiian Aquarium. It was a really great aquarium and so fun to see all of the fish that live in the ocean off the Hawaiian islands -- if only we could see them while we were out snorkeling! The kids all had cameras -- Cameron had mine, Rena had Jeff's and Maleah had her own so we have about 200 pictures of fish (if you want to see them!)
On our way back we stopped at one of the scenic pictures spots. We were pretty lucky that we stopped when we did because we got to see a whole bunch of spinner dolphins out in the ocean. Apparently they aren't around very often and they were really cool to see.
Time for a Luau! We were actually scheduled to go to a luau at The Westin the night before, but it got cancelled due to an accident on the highway. We were lucky to get another one booked on such short notice. We went to The Drums of the Pacific at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It was the same one we went to last time, but I think everyone still really enjoyed it (especially Maleah since she slept through it last time we were there!)
New Hawaiian dresses for the luau!.....
......and a new t-shirt......
Waiting for the luau to start......and for the food!......
Hula dancing - That's Rena and Maleah right up front and I am behind Rena......
Some of the show.......
The end of the show was the best with the fire dancers......
After the show the kids had their picture taken with some of the dancers.......
Cameron only wanted his taken with the fire dancer.......
Here we are before the show (it's the professional pic that they take and sell -- yes, I bought it!) :) ........
