We were so excited to finally get to Maui! The plane ride was 6 hours, I had been dreading it for months, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Kailey and Dax wanted to get in the pool as soon as we got to our condo. It was hard to keep them out of the water.
Kailey loved the ocean, She was great at body boarding and snorkeling.
Dax loved the sand. He was a little scared of the waves. On Wednesday we went to The Royal Lahaina Luau.
Tyler was excited for the pig and all of the rest of the food.The rest of us were excited for the Dancing.
On Thursday we decided to try The Road to Hana, it was a long day, but we had fun. It was actually a perfect activity, because Dax wasn't feeling to great and he got a great nap in the car.
The view was gorgeous, but the road was pretty scary. Now that we can say we have done it, I am sure we will never go again.
There were a lot of waterfalls along the way, most of them were hard to get to with the kids. We found one that had a great little swimming hole, and it wasn't to high so Tyler could jump off of it. I was pretty nervous that he would get hurt, but he still jumped and had a lot of fun.
On Friday morning we went snorkeling to Molokini. We even convinced Kailey to come, she got a little scared but overall she did great.
We also got to go to a spot called Turtle Bay, there were about 10 to 15 turtles swimming around us.
We tried to drive up to the top of Haleakala on Friday afternoon. Dax still wasn't feeling good and when we got to the higher elevation he started throwing up, so we just turned around and went back to the condo.
On Saturday Dax was feeling even worse. He wouldn't eat or move, he had a fever of 104 and his breathing was very rapid. We took him into an Urgent Care center, but they couldn't do much, they told us to take him to the ER. Turns out he had pneumonia and had to spend the night in the hospital.
The next day he was feeling a lot better, and we got discharged just in time to make our flight to Kona. This was definitely not a fun way to spend my vacation, but I am really glad that Dax is healthy now and nothing went really wrong.
Oh my laws Cass! I'm full of mixed feelings. I am so glad you got to go on vacation! You look like you had a great time. My other feelings are worries for Dax. I can't believe he got pheumonia! He must have felt so crummy. I am so glad he is okay. I hope you are feeling okay. We are praying for you. Love you tons.
Looks like so much fun! The video is cute, Dax is so proud of his dad :) I'm so glad he's okay! I have a week off school in August so maybe I can come visit! I hope you don't have your babies by then, but it will be close, right? Love you!
Wow!! I love the pictures, I feel terrible for Dax! What an unexpected turn... I hope he's feeling better! Maui looks like just the kind of place I want to be right now!!!
