Flingo Fun with the Workers!

This last Tuesday, Karen and Kara stopped by for the night and introduced us to the fun of Beach Flingo. We had a great time learning to play this game that looks completely ridiculous, but is totally fun!

Joe and Karen trying it out!

Joe getting fancy!

Having fun!!!

Kara showing me how!

What can I say... It's fun!!!

Oops! We lost the ball!

The pros show us how it's really done!

They had a new record of 33 passes!

Chloe watching all this fun going on

Enthralling!

Karen playing "catch" with Chloe!

Now Kara's got the ball!

Meeting Mykayla

A few weeks ago Joe's cousin, Jessica was in town with her little girl Mykayla, so we all went over to see them!

This was Chloe thinking she was hot stuff in the kid chair, just before she did a nose dive leaving a bruise on each cheek! Probably because they stick out so far!

Scarlett sittin' up like a big girl!

Great Grandma with the girlies!

Chloe and Mykayla in the backyard.

The cousins

The Mama's and their little girls!

Great Grandma's, Grandma's, Mom's, and little girls!

Groovy Girl!!!

We're not sure who she got her talent from, but this girl has got some moves!!! Whenever music comes on these days (be it the radio, a cell phone ringing, or her musical toys) Chloe starts to groove! It totally cracks us up! A little addendum to this post... Chloe actually started doing the head shake to the hymns today! Now that takes talent!

You like ta-may-toe and I like ta-mah-toe...

which turns out to be a really good thing! After being gone for a week we had a bunch of tomatoes ripe and ready for eating!

Wowee Maui!

We had a wonderful week in Maui with the whole clan!!! It was a totally relaxing, fun filled week with the added bonus that we got to see Uncle Harold and Kevin!

Chloe's checking out Juan and Cari's room- I think she approves!

Fun on the beach!

Alyssa lounging!

Chloe playing in the sand!

Washing the sand off!

The girls looked so cute sitting up together!
We had dinner at Bubba Gumps in Lahaina!

Chloe being a "ham" as usual, making the waiters laugh!

Jim, Alyssa, Joe, Chloe and I all went to the Maui Ocean Center one day.

Chloe checking out the starfish

Watch out for the Shark, Chloe!!!

Chloe loved the tunnel with all the fish swimming around her! She kept running back and forth pointing at everything! There were so many fish, sharks, and, manta rays I could understand her amazement!

Back at our hotel enjoying the sun and the pool!

Chloe loved to pack her sand toys around... It always made her look like she was running away from home!

Checking things out!

Getting some Nana Love!

Sunset in Lahaina!

Sittin' on sunshine!

Me and Chloe!

Grandpa and the grand-girlies!

Yummm Milk!

I just can't get enough, plus this straw thing is so cool!

Juan, Cari, Scarlett, Joe, Chloe and I went snorkeling early one morning. Cari and Juan heading into the water!

Scarlett and Chloe enjoying the morning air!

Aww! What a sweet smile!





Bright eyed and bushy tailed!

Waiting to get into the Gazebo Restaurant, which was excellent, especially if your name is Joe and you ordered the Banana Mac pancakes!



The restaurant!




Just below the restaurant are some tide pools... Nothing great except for the photo op!

I couldn't resist getting this bikini for Chloe!

Looks like she's on a mission!

Exploring our hotel!

Another early morning snorkeling trip! Thanks to Juan our experienced guide for taking us along! This time we went to Honolu'a Bay, which is a very popular snorkeling spot but since we went so early we were there and gone before the masses showed up!

Joe coming back so I can take a turn!

Chloe playing while Daddy snorkels

He Tarzan!!!

Me Jane!!!

To get to Honolu'a Bay you have to go down through this beautiful forested area, unfortunately this picture doesn't capture the beauty of the trees

Grandpa and Nana were nice enough to watch both Chloe and Scarlett one night, so all of us "kids" could go out together! We went to Warren and Annabelle's Magic Club, which was SO much fun and is simply amazing! If you are ever in Maui and have the chance to go, I would highly reccomend it!

Me n' Alyssa

Brothers!

Our last night in Maui!

One last little bit of fun in the sand!

Me 'n Chloe enjoying the sunset!

Getting ready to leave!
