Ka'anapali, Maui

It was a cloudy dark Friday, October 1, 2010 morning when we were picked up by the airport shuttle to take us to one of the most beautiful destinations.........Ka'anapali, Maui. We boarded American Airlines flight 253 with Ahma and Papa and headed for sun, sand, and the beautiful clear blue ocean. This was the first plane ride for Kaylee and Macie and they both were awesome! Macie was on our laps for the flight and while I expected her to make a fuss at least half the way there, she was a model baby. Kaylee was great as usual seeing that she was occupied by her new coloring book, iPod, and Toy Story 3 that was played on the flight. We landed in Maui at 11:45am Maui time and had the rest of the day to do as we wanted.

Lahaina is the town right next to Ka'anapali and it is such a quaint little paradise town. It almost has the feel of Catalina if you will ,with Front St. being where most of the shops and restaurants are. In the middle of this adorable town is a Banyan Tree. While I thought I took some amazing pictures of the tree I only took pictures of the girls in the tree. Oh well. It is an amazing huge tree that looks as though it is kept company by many other trees but in fact those other trees are the same tree being the root sysytem of the Banyan tree grown down forming other trees. Something you need to see. Following are part one of our trip to Maui....hope you enjoy the pictures....

Macie is now the newest tech junkie always wanting Ahma's phone.

Hello Ka'anapali!! This is our view from our room.

The pirate ship at the kids pool. Kaylee had a great time playing on it sliding through all the "secret slides"
