Happy 4th of July!

It's the 4th of July but we didn't do the traditional Independence Day activities. We took a walk in the morning and did a little shopping near our condo. We did decide to BBQ some hot dogs for lunch so we could celebrate the 4th a little bit.

Our big activity for the day was attending the Old Lahaina Luau. We got a little dressed up and headed over to Lahaina via a shuttle. We received leis when we got there. The kids didn't really like them because they were too itchy. I had to resort to bribery to get them to wear them for a few photos. The sun was so bright that some of these didn't turn out all that well.




This is actually a decent one of our family, thanks to Christina!

Aren't Isaac and Evan so cute!!

All of the kids...

Andy and I don't get very many taken of us together so it's nice to have a few from this trip...


This was the location of Clint and Christina's wedding last year. Here's the happy couple in the same spot where the wedding and cake-cutting were.

A few of the kids.... I don't think they were too impressed with the luau.


One of the show...

Abigail said this was her favorite part of the trip... getting her photo taken with the hula girls (and guy).

There weren't any fireworks during this show but the town of Lahaina did some over the water. We saw a couple, but not enough (according to J.T.). He wanted to see more. I am sure he would've given up the luau for more fireworks.

I thought the luau was one of the best parts of the trip... it's part of the experience! The food and drinks were great... the show was just the right length... the location was fabulous! We took a shuttle back to the condo which was such a great idea! The town of Lahaina was so crazy because of the fireworks show that I wouldn't have wanted to worry about parking and driving through town. We got back to Kihei around 10 pm.
