Hawaiian Vacation - Part 3

Well we're home now, but the pictures keep coming! Our 25 hours of travel from Hawaiian hale to home-sweet-home went relatively smoothly. There was some serious screeching and crying on the plane ride which didn't surprise us, and thankfully the flight back was shorter than the one going, that helped. Liam's switch back to the Mountain time zone is basically complete already. It worked because he/we were all so tired that we were ready for bed at a normal Idaho time, he woke up normally too and has been the happiest kid, running circles around Ripley and playing with every single one of his toys.... but back to Maui...

We took Liam to the Maui Ocean Center because, as you may know, he la-hoves fish (or shish, whatever you call them)... and it was worth it!
Paeton shows Liam a sea star.

We are looking at turtles - which is one of the many new words he can say after this trip - sounds like "tur-tur".

Jelly-fish tank.

Tunnel through the big aquarium where we saw sharks and rays, this was his favorite part and mine too.

More tide pools with Abbey and Pae-Pae.

Dinner at the Hula Grill - lots of big belly laughs with Uncle Lonnie.

Playing in the sand with Auntie Jeran.

Todd trying out the paddle-board.

Me paddle-boarding! Looks impressive but I never stood for longer than 5 seconds. It was hard to balance but really fun.

Liam has his turn too!

Crashing sand castles.

'Nuff said.

But that's not the end, at least one, but maybe two more parts left!!
