Maui 2009: The Boys

We had such fun with the boys this year.  They are very comfortable in the water now, and we spent many hours snorkeling, bodysurfing, swimming, and just hanging around. Our precious ones... Feeding the koi... Turning 'A' into a merman... Goofballs... Hula Grill... This is one of the many plumeria trees in front of our lanai at the place we stay in Napili.  The boy learned how to climb the tree and make us a little nervous as they pushed the envelope climbing higher...higher...higher... On top of Haleakala... Coming down from Haleakala, we were all famished and stopped at a sweet little market in Kula.  Snacks and treats in their protea garden and we were happy campers... Our Nature Boy It has been such a joy getting to know the unique traits and interests of 'A' and 'R'.  They are both so different and it's wonderful to witness. 'R' engages his senses to a degree that I envy.  He is the first to notice color, flavor, scent, texture and brings them to my attention.  He loves all things of nature and often asks that I take pictures of his little collections (taking a picture is our agreement over taking all the items home). The beginning shell collection... We all got a little too much sun one day and our little guy crashed on the couch... The pod of a Signature Tree... 'R' and Albalucia created a little "corral" to hold 'R's shell collection.  It was made out of seed pods from the kiawe tree... Hula boy... 'R' with Breadfruit...
