The Blue Bayou

Maui Sightseeing

We did a few sightseeing excursions and our first trip was to the Iao Needle. It is a beautiful tropical rain forest type setting with paths leading all around the park.

Iao Needle

Surfing Goat Dairy. This dairy is the only goat farm on Maui and they make AMAZING goat cheese and other goat-milk products. They sell a lot of their fresh cheese to local restaurants and hotels.

We took a tour of the dairy in which the girls got to feed and milk to goats.

Kate got to milk the goats twice!

Will and I even gave it a try.

We had a sampler of all their soft goat cheeses. They were all so delicious!

After the goat farm we headed to the famous Mama's Fish House for an amazing dinner. This restaurant has been on the Travel Channel and Food Network for it amazing food.

Mama's Fish House it located right on the ocean making for an amazing sunset-setting.

Kate being silly.

I wish I could share all of my photos on the blog since we had such a wonderful trip to Maui. It was hard to leave and come back home to reality but hopefully we will be back soon!

Beach Fun!

Dedushka and Grammalene found a perfect beach for our family to visit with crystal blue water, calm waves, shaded sand, and fish to see. We spent 2 days at the beach, each time for 3 hours.

Beautiful beach scenery

Maggie preferred to spend most of her time digging in the sand.

Kate and Will went exploring for corral.

Grammalene and Dedushka helped Maggie find her corral to collect.

We used the corral to decorate sand castles.

Maggie loved filling up the sand buckets with water and then splash around in the water.

Gazebo and Kaanapali Beach Hotel

When we are in Maui we always stop at the Gazebo for breakfast several times. It is locate on Napili Beach in a little gazebo...it is a gorgeous setting for an amazing breakfast!

Fried rice and pineapple/banana/macadamia nut pancakes...oh, so yummy!

Shuffle board fun!

One night we headed to Kaanapali Beach Hotel for their free hula show. We stayed at their hotel last year and fell in love with the place so we had to go back for a visit!

Beautiful Kate.

Big checkers!

Kate was called up on stage to learn the hula...she was a natural. :-)

Our townhome was just a quick drive down Front Street to Lahaina Town. We took several visits into town to sight-see and eat. Our first stop was Cool Cats Cafe where they serve amazing burger, shakes and fries.

Several morning, Dedushka and Grammalene went into Lahaina to play tennis. One morning we went to watch them play. The girls enjoyed sitting in the grandstands to watch.
