Hawaii Roundup

We just returned home from a fabulous week in Maui.  As much as I dislike the week after vacation, I would do it all over again.  The piles of laundry, empty fridge and stack of mail to sort through, are not going to get me down.  As always, I cannot thank Tyson's parents enough for their constant generosity.  They are continually spoiling us left and right.  I feel tremendously blessed to have been married into such an extraordinary family.

and now without hitherto, some of the HIGHLIGHTS that include, but are not limited to... 

Witnessing my husband and father-in-law being pulled out of the audience, onto a stage and shaking their hips to sweet Hawaiian beats.
Attending Warren And Annabelles Magic Show and laughing so hard it hurt.
Soaking up as much vitamin D as the little one would allow.
Sipping on virgin Lava Flows by the pool.
Family devotional where we shared our feelings on Christ like attributes. 
While snorkeling, witnessing a mama sting ray and her two little ones, as well as a turtle that was so close to me I could have reached out and touched him.
Sinking my teeth into the juiciest steak, as we celebrated Tyson's mom's birthday at Ruth's Chris.
Munching on endless amounts of chocolate covered macadamia nuts.
Falling asleep to the worlds best white noise every night.
Having my hair curled every day, by my sister-in-law Cara.
As previously stated, parasailing, viewing the sunrise from on top of a volcano, ziplining across Hawaii.
Breakfast at The Plantation, while enjoying a breathtaking view of the gorgeous golf course and vibrant blue ocean.
* I started a tradition while at Newport this summer, that I would create a slideshow of our family's vacation.  We watch it at the end of the trip to conclude our vacation.
