Day 7 (and 8) Surf's Up!

On our last morning at the hotel, we went to their big buffet breakfast.  On our way back we had  the boys pose with this totem that we saw all the time.

While we packed (boo hoo), the boys did mad libs on the patio. 

These flowers were blooming all over our hotel. 

This is Egg Tree, which we passed every time we went from the pool to the room.  

Ahh, home.  Ha ha ha, our very own tiki bar!

On our last day we went to Black Rock to snorkel one more time. 

Josh stepped on a  sea urchin on his last try to jump off Black Rock.  He got about 25 little tiny spikes in his foot, poor guy.  We learned that the remedy is a little vinegar on it, and let the spikes dissolve in the next 3-4 days. So far that's worked well.  Josh was bummed that he didn't get to jump for his last jump but he did about 10 jumps, so he's probably all good. ;) 

The boys wanted to do surf lessons, and luckily they had room for us in the afternoon of our last day. 

They offered an add-on of a dedicated photographer and we decided to do it!  I am so happy with these great pictures! 

Grass training!

Josh did great!  So many good waves!

We watched from the beach, and didn't have to worry about capturing the moments. 

He was so happy that he "parked it" on the beach! 

Parked it again!

Bracing for a big wave. 

That wave was huge!  

One of the last convertible rides of the trip. 

After lessons we had a Hospitality Room at the hotel, and we got all cleaned up for dinner.  We had our last mai tai and pina colada at Duke's. 

Third and final Hula Pie! We demolish these pies, it's like a war for every bite. :) 

Last dinner was at Duke's on Kaanapali. It was at a very fancy condo resort place. 

Our last sunset was gorgeous. Again. 

Last sunset and last family photo! 

Our flight left Maui at 10:45 Hawaiian time (which is 2:45 AM in MT!) Josh couldn't make it to the flight awake, he fell asleep like this. When he woke up, he had no idea where he was and what was going on. 

And we landed in LA at 6:45 AM California time.  Josh didn't sleep well on the plane and so he fell asleep on the floor of the Crown Room. 

They looked pretty ready sit still on a plane don't you think? 

Luke and daddy got to be partners on the LAX to BZN flight.  Can we just talk about Luke's hat?  He rocks that hat, and it is a hard hat to really sell.  It was $7 at an ABC store, and it's about 6" tall! 

Poor Josh had to ride with me, and I fell asleep pretty much before we took off.  Those are some glassy eyes!
Whoooo, what a spring break!
