Wednesday

We don't want to go home! 

We are falling in love with Maui... Other then the cost of things! 

Yesterday was another adventure day. We started the day by Steve making us omelettes and mimosas. Then we packed up for the day and headed for Haleakala national park aka the volcano. It was another long windy road but Adessa did well this time. The weather was pretty foggy and cloudy on the way up and very cold but once we got to the peak it was amazing blue skies. It felt like we landed somewhere in space- a whole new world! We had lots of fun hiking and exploring and only saw the hike down into the crater when the girls were done. So sadly for me we packed up and headed down for a picnic. But definitely a highlight! We prayed for clear weather up to and got it. 

We then adventures to the other sid of Maui to Paia where we wanted to check out the surf beach "jaws" but unfortunately got separated from mom and dad and we didn't buy a cell phone plan so couldn't get ahold of them. We drove up and down the beaches and saw some amazing surfing beaches and then ended up asking some surfer guy for his cell phone to call mom and dad. He traded the call for the use of a towel! 😜

Ends up he is originally from Ontario and had a Canadian plan so we were able to reach mom and dad. The beach we stopped at was covered in turtles. So neat! He told us jaws wasn't being surfed today but told us about baby beach and we went there for the rest of the day. It was a bit tricky to find but unreal when we did. The rocks formed a wall to break the waves so there was a completely calm, teal blue pool of water- complete with turtles! It was gorgeous! We swam in there for awhile and mom, Danika and I walked the never ending white sandy beach. 

The boys took Adessa and Amara home and I drove our Cadillac (which I am going to miss terribly!) back to Ross to return a few things and Danika, mom and I had a little shopping and dinner date. 

Such a great day. Everyday there has been some sort of new highlight. 

Today, mom and dad are watching the girls all day and Steve and I are packing up for a day of exploring some other Beaches and snorkelling. I am super looking forward to it!
