GOOD MORNING MAUI!!

We are truly in paradise this morning. This is the view from our Lanai. The sound of waves crashing onto the shore is the background to the girls playing and us sipping our Hawaiin coffee. I am SO HAPPY!!!!

The trip here was great. Sydney was a bit apprehensive but the second we took off she was in awe. She looked out the window and said "Mom, I can see the whole planet!!!!" Sara was a constant mover for Pat. He had to do a lot of entertaining while I got to read a book with Sydney asleep on my lap.

Our acccomodations are perfect. We hit the beach immediately. I wasn't thinking enough to bring the camera but the girls were in the surf in seconds. The undertow is intense here so the Sara is knocked off her feet with every wave going out, but she just giggles. Sydney flops down on her belly like a seal and acts like Aerial while the foam hits her in the chest. She gets tossed around like a rag doll out there. If I can keep my worry in check she might actually have a good time. She got a little frustrated with me yesterday as I kept saying "Sydney, watch out...get up...move in...away from the rocks!! etc. We will get more comforatble today.

Sara has been so happy that she is all dressed up in her wrap singing this happy song. I don't know what she is singing but it seems very happy. I caught some on tape.

Both girls like to climb up on this wall and sit.

Not sure what all we will do today but I know the majority of our time will be at the beach.
This has already been a great trip!! Stay tuned, more to come.....
