It was a great vacation. It wasn’t as relaxing as we might have wanted as both Ryan and Madeline were very restless whenever we were in the room. The hotel we stayed at had a wonderful pool with a great water slide. The nice thing with this water slide was that they let you wear your floaty as you went down. Ryan was a bit nervous about going down the slide without a floaty and in the end (the last few days) he finally had the confidence to go down without his floaty as long as daddy was there to catch him.
Madeline (as I mentioned in an early post) loves to go down slides, and if Ryan goes down a slide by himself she wants to go down by herself. Now, we were very nervous to let her go down the slide by herself but after days of insisting we finally let her – she did great the first time down and insisted on going down again! The second time she did a flip at the end and it scared her a bit (she didn’t cry) so that was it for her. She actually said “with daddy” meaning if she went again it would be with daddy.
The resort where we stayed was quite windy and a bit cool (mid 70s) so that made for some chilling swimming. We would go down the water slide for about a half hour then sit in the hot tub. We discovered that if we drove 5 minutes to the baby beach it was much warmer with no wind.
I love going to Maui because the rainbows are so amazing. In this photo I was able to catch a rainbow at the last second with Ryan. The other rainbow was taken from our hotel room window.
