Aloha!

Ok, so it has been a while since my last post, but I am really still mentally in Maui! We loved it! It was the best! (Thanks to all those at home that made it possible!) Here are some highlights! You may be able to tell who is the better photographer between Jeremy and I, you can actually see me, and Jeremy is usually a dot in the water. I was having a hard time not getting knocked down in the water, so I will point him out....first though, this is me "Catching a Wave"! I really was trying to smile for the camera, but as you can tell I was slightly panicked! so fun though, and of course my althletic husband picked it right up and was awesome. I did it and enjoyed it, but I would turn in before him and lay on the beach and watch him wait for the best waves! When we weren't "Spongeing" we were snorkling.... ahhhh Napili beach! Amazing! We took our little book everywhere with us and found the beaches they recomended for snorkling and such and we were not let down... Such an amazing time...
I know it is hilarious, but you got to admit it looks fun!
I said I would point Jeremy out and so here he is... boogie boarding!

Here he is again.... still boogie boarding....
So, this was a monumetous trip, not only because we celebrated our 10 years together, but I crossed off one of my 50 things to do before I die list.... Swim with the sea turtles! Yes I really do have a list ( thanks to Engilsh 101 in college)! And this is me and the sea turtle that I swam with..... it seriously was only 1 yard away!
I am still in awe, here is another picture of the turtle... There were 8 we saw and swam with!


I love my Jeremy and we had an amazing trip!

ahhh. sums it up pretty well, but it doesn't really give anyone much to read

We did bike down a volcano! We got up at 2:30 am and watched the sun rise 9,800 ft up, then got on a bike and downhilled 26 miles going 15-20 miles an hour! I know Spencer and Steph, this is no tour de France, but considering I am usually riding around with a 5 year old and a bike trailer on my bike, it was quite the adventure! It started raining the last 10 miles or so, and we had already taken off our rain gear and didn't stop to put it back on and it was like I was a little girl riding through mud puddles! It was a blast!
We stopped part way and posed for a picture!
All wet and tired! But we just went back to the hotel and took a nap, then spent the rest of the day laying on the beach.... rough, now you know why I said that I was still in Maui... mentally.
