HAWAII!

The weekend Tanner passed away we sat in the motorhome discussing places that we would all love to go on a family vacation to because although we travel quite a bit together it's usually to watch one of Tanner's races so he wanted go on a "real vacation." He kept saying Hawaii was where he would like to visit and so after the crash when we went back to comb through the site I found a piece of paper face down and when I flipped it over it had a map of Hawaii on it. It must of gotten torn out of the book of maps that was stored in the motorhome during the crash so we took it as a sign that one day Tanner would like us to take that family trip to Hawaii. So on May 8th, 2010 in honor of T we flew to Maui, HI!

We're here!
We travel a lot so we weren't to worried about the long flight with the kids and as we expected they were angels. Jax slept the first 3 hours and then watched a movie the rest of the time!
We stayed in Lahaina at the Maui Ocean Club. It was perfect for our families because they were timeshares so they had 2 to 3 bedrooms and a kitchen in each unit and we had 2 of them for all of us to share!
They had a great kids pool with lots of slides and a pirate ship in the middle of a sandy area.


We ate at Bubba Gumps for Mother's Day and it was delicious!

The beach in front of our hotel was kind of hard with kids because of the drop off so we walked down to Black Rock and spent the day playing on the beach and snorkeling with sea turtles.
Every time Brock and I go to Maui we have to snorkel at Molokini so we talked the family into joining us and had a blast. We saw a mother hump back whale and her calf swimming with dolphins on the way there and on the way back we say sea turtles again!

The twins were the only ones brave enough to go off the slide on the boat!


Everyone knows Jax loves ice cream and grandpa was crazy enough to let him eat it while on his shoulders!



The Hyatt Luau!

Mama's Fish House
If any of you have eaten there I don't even need to explain for those of you haven't, it's AMAZING! By far the best fish I've ever had in my life! And an incredible atmosphere on top of it!

Thanks to The Krahenbuhls' for this amazing vacation and we even got a little surprise from Tanner when we found out that the King of Motorcross Jeremy McGrath was staying at our same hotel and ended going on a mountain bike ride with the guys and since then has become a friend of the family!
