Maui Paradise

It's only been just over a day . . .
but the memories stored up could fill more.. . .
from the meeting in the hotel lobby
to delivery pizza on the patio . . .


to trips to get groceries and forgetting 
we need to be able carry what we purchased . . .
and keeping track of who went where in the maze of pools and slides . . .









to invading the beach . . .




and games with the waves . . .








to being treated for an amazing dinner by Ben and Kari . . .






siting at  the tables till the tiki torches were lit
and kids chasing each other in the darkening shadows could barely see.

It's been  an amazing day!
And we've only just  begun!
