Day 6~

Today we decided to get in the car and see if we could find the Nakalele blowhole and the Olivine pools. We all were wearing flip flops which probably wasn't the best choice since it was hiking all over lava rocks and stuff. The blowhole was cool, it was hard to take a picture at the right time when it would go off, but we got a few. Then we headed to the Olivine pools, they are pools that are surrounded by three sides of the ocean which is very ruff and crazy, i called it the angry ocean, cause it just looked mad! I was pretty scared I didn't feel at all safe, the kids and Doug were making fun of me, but then we over heard someone talking about their friends dad who died there trying to save his kids from a huge wave that took him out! Yeah, it was a cool place, but me being a worrier, i wanted out of there!! After the pools we decided to take the road up a little further to check it out and the road got smaller and smaller and it became this little dirt one way type road that led to a little village called Kahakuloa , where i bought the best banana bread on the planet, that is what the sign said, and i tell you, it really was!! I can not stop thinking about it, it was soooo good!! I bought two loafs and i should have gotten more!! Oh well i know where i am heading to next time in Maui:) After we headed back to the condo, we rested for a little bit and showered and got ready to go to the luau. We went to the Royal Lahaina Luau.It was fun, of course the dancing wasn't as good as Polynesian cultural center,but it was very entertaining, and we all thought the food was better at this one. No Hawaiian vacation is complete without going to a luau!!

DAY 7~

Today we decided to go back to D. T. Flemings beach. Haden really wanted to boogie board some more. Tyler was kind of mad, he wanted to go to the pool, he has decided that the pool at the condo is much funner than the beach, they have two pools, the garden pool is 3 ft to 4ft to 3 ft. so he can walk the whole pool, he was so excited when he found that out. So we decided to go to the beach for a couple of hours and then head back to the condo to hang out at the pool. When you have 3 different personalities, it is hard to please all three sometimes, but we did our best, we were exhausted, but it was a good time! After swimming Uncle Dave came and checked into the hotel, He lives in Oahu and came to visit us for two days. While he was getting settled into his place Doug and I showered up and headed to the grocery store to make dinner and try to save a little bit of money. We decided to make spaghetti. It was good and it felt nice not to spend so much to eat!!

DAY 8~

Today we had a full day planned. We got up early and headed to the swap meet. We got lost trying to find it, but we eventually found it. The kids were so excited to go to the swap meet, last year we went to the one in Oahu and they loved it, we were hoping it would be as good, but of course it wasn't. Josh was happy thou, he found a Jordan basketball jersey, so i guess the trip was worth it! Except for Haden pouted cause they didn't have anything his size, so we still owe him a jersey, but i haven't heard about it yet! After we found a mall and had lunch at the food court and then started out to drive the road to Hana. We decided to just do the Twin Falls hike and that is it, cause the kids didn't want to get car sick, and i didn't want to deal with sick kids again. I totally want to do the road to Hana, so I definitely have to go back to Maui, without kids!! Twin falls was a simple hike and quit beautiful for it not being one of the best hikes. I did get some banana bread from the little stand, hoping it would be the same as the other banana bread i got earlier that week, but it was not the same:( After our hike we turned around and on our way we passed a beach with a ton of surfers, we decided to stop and watch them for a while. We watched a crazy guy jumping the cliffs off into the water, and some crazy surfers. Then we headed back to the condo. Of course Tyler wanted to swim again, we were all tired, but he was determined. So we headed to the pool and we noticed a cool sunset so we went to the beach and took pictures and then hung at the pool and Jacuzzi. It was a long day, but everyone had a good time!
