Recent Trip to Hawaii!

Well, thanks to my mom who came and stayed with our kids for a week, we were able to go to Hawaii with some friends of ours! We stayed on the Maui Island at the Wailea Beach Villas Condos, they were amazing! We enjoyed bodyboarding, snorkeling which we saw some sea turtles, zipline, some amazing food, and Brent even took surfing lessons! I think that next time I definately want to get some surf lessons too...I actually regret not doing it with Brent at the same time! Brent also went with the other guys and took a Harley ride on the notorious "Road to Hana." He had a blast and wants me to go with him next time too, except we will probably rent an open jeep instead of a Harley! Hawaii was awesome and we will definately go back soon!
Some bodyboarding:



This is Tony and Brent catching the curl!

This is me...you can't tell but I'm actually catching the curl just right to be pushed by the wave!


Some zipline pictures: (I don't have any of Brent, hoping to get some from Michelle)



Tony, Mary, Michelle, Joel, Bob, Tiffanni, Todd, Dena, Brent & I, Ruben all geared up!


So graceful!


Some pictures of Brent during his surf lessons and trying out his skills. He did really well which is why I wish I would have done it too. Brent says it is really pretty easy, the hard part is paddling against the swells to get out to the next wave.


Sexy Brent...oh yah...those surf booties really bring out your manlyness!

Show that board who is boss...in your 80's style red half shirt! (Really a rashguard)That is Brent on the left if you can't see his red shirt very well.
Smooth as butter!Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee....wipeout!



And the ride to Hana:

Joel, Tony, Ruben, Todd, and Brent on their Harleys!

Such a stud!
Joel and Tony in the back, Ruben, Brent and Todd in front.

This guy is a native they met while in Hana...Hang loose!


We had a really great time and are so grateful that Tony invited us to go along with them to paradise! We had a lot of fun and will miss our friends since we now live in Oregon. Thanks again you guys!
