first day... starved from travel - Hard Rock in Lahaina - yum!
Jordan became quite the skim-boarder... till blood flowed, slowing him down a bit. (ocean view from our condo in Kahana)
hunting snorkel-beaches.. the bay below is "Honolua Bay" - beautiful
took a rock climb/descent further north
By the Ritz...
in Lahaina being goofy
there he goes again - diff beach
one day, the 4 snorkelers rented wet suits so they could stay out there even longer... so many fish and turtles! guess we need to get that water camera developed soon! Kapalua Bay was a favorite.
Whaler's Village, K'aanapali - little turtle duo tatt (dad not too happy that the sales girl handed the job over to a guy who popped out of nowhere to do the 'art')
boys went first, but Marina & I parasailed 800 ft. it was peaceful and fun!
we got a nice family pic here too - but saving that as possible Christmas card photo... secret! this was our little "hike" at Ioa Valley St. Park (I think it was a state park... can't remember) once we went off-trail we had a fun hike.
our private beach @ Kahana Sunset - this time Ryker taking a turn with the board, David tried it too!
"Mom, we can't see, the sun is too bright!"this was on the America II speed sailing adventure - very fun... this was prior to everyone on board getting completely soaked in the giant swells we sailed thru.
about 16 people on board, but our three got the primo seats on the more calm waters as we headed back to the marina after the 2 hour adventure. 
on our last evening, we went looking for the blow hole on the north shore... it was super windy up there... Jordan was pointing out his scarred up knee from his skim-board accident.All in all, it was a fabulous trip and a rare week for the 5 of us to hangout together. Pretty much 1st and last time all year it's been just the 5 of us. We are so grateful for the family time and recognize it's one of the last before our oldest heads off to college.

Tina! What a dream vacation! The kids look like they were having a blast. I am so excited you all got to do that fun, memorable trip. That sailing adventure sounded like a blast! How fun. I can't believe you let Marina get a tattoo! It's a cute one. I'd be like David too, when the guy artist appeared. I like your sons short haircuts. I love that photo of Marina standing, leaning over on the rock with the sky above. Very cool shot. I can't wait to see the secret mystery photo at Christmas time. Mail it to my home address when the time comes because we will be back by then for the holidays.
Kelly - the tattoo is almost gone now - they are just a "staining ink"... like henna - only this was something different than henna, darker color, not as red as henna. haha - I would NOT let her ever get a real one, and I hope when she's old enough to decide for herself, she wouldn't want a real one either!
