Maui wowie

We did not partake in the local F1 hybrid, so far as I know, but we did log a lot of family and beach time, and had an overall great visit to the country's 50th state. We were 9 in total, and we mixed it up quite a bit...

We had duos

Frousins

More frousins

And sisters

And aunts and nieces

And mothers and daughters

Plus new friends

And more frousins

We had trios

Airport shot going west

Boots plus upper thigh -- my brother is going to have his hands full.

New friends with newer, half-naked friends

Airport going east

We had solos

Solos with fire, even.
(Scary guy who climbs up black rock and dives off)

And even more fire. And less clothes.

And conch shells and stories

We also had some larger groups

Onstage at luau, about to get their hula on

Post muddy, slippery waterfall hike

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
(Can you believe that's the first Thanksgiving dinner I've ever had with all of my kids?
I may have had to go to Maui to do it, but it was definitely worth it!)

We also put in a wee little bit of drinking time

My bro is a righteous mixologist

And our hotel had cute beach bar, with a 2 - 6 pm happy hour

But mostly? Mostly we had incredible views

Loved waking up to this view.

Aloha, Maui.
