Okuda Hawaiian Christmas

EVERYBODY

The week before Christmas Grandma and Grandpa Okuda took the family (minus the kids) to Maui for 5 days. We had such a great time! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family. It was quite relaxing but I wont lie, it wiped me out! All the hiking around about did me in, but it was well worth it. Maui is such a beautiful place and I hope we get to go back one day. Enjoy the pictures. :)


The Beach!



What I did at the beach, sat there and watched.

We all went to a Luau one night. It was so fun to watch the hula dancers.

The atmosphere was perfect.

They offered virgin drinks too so all us non-alcoholic drinkers took advantage of the open bar for once.

The pig we ate that they cooked under the ground. It was really tasty!

The view from our room

One day we rode the Road to Hana. It was beautiful. There were lots of waterfalls, trees, and greenery. I was in Heaven. This is the day I was most active also. One of my favorite spots of the trip was on this road. I played in a waterfall! Pictures don't do it justice.

At this stop(my fav) we met this local fisherman and Grandpa O loved him. He was a cool guy.

Da boys

My Fav the sea spray on the rocks!




The blow hole was one of my favorite spots too. It was a hike to get to it, but super cool! A few people gave me weird looks as I passed by and one said "I wouldn't be doing this in your condition" People are funny. It's not like I'm dying. :)


Whale watching! This is our little friend waving.

Teppanyaki dinner!

We arrived home about 6:30am Christmas morning and went straight to my parents house for Christmas and then out to Overton. Talk about a long day. I think I took 3 separate naps. It was a great Christmas!
