Maui Holiday Day 6 and 7

Day 6

We decided not to head to the beach first thing in the morning, but to sleep in and relax. But when I woke up about 10am Don and nick and Emily were at the beach. Michael was still asleep on the couch.I headed out to the beach leaving Michael sleeping off and on watching tv. When I got to the beach Emily was in the water with Nick. She was up to her waist and jumping over all of the waves. YA HOO...

Don and I even got Emily on the boogie board riding the waves. She rode about 4-5 waves before a big wave knocked her off and that was the end of the boogie board. She stuck with just playing in the water. At least she didn't stop getting in.

About noon we left and decided to head out to Twin Falls and Jaws beach. From what the locals had to say about Jaws, in the winter the waves can be 60 feet tall. Its where all the big surf contest are. We found the twin falls and walked to the smaller of the falls. There was a group of kids cliff jumping into the pool below the falls. The boys did not want to do this, Thank goodness.

After hiking about 2 more miles we found the bigger falls. You could walk back behind the falls in to a cave. There was a rope swing and each of us, except Emily who was to short to reach the rope, swung on the rope. Yes I did it, Don got it on video and boy is it funny.

After a long hike back we went back to the beach and swam until dark.

Day 7 Our final day in Maui.

Emily had been quite upset that when we went to the blowhole nothing was happening. So we decided that we would head back up the road to see what was going on. The waves at our beach were much larger than they had been, so we figured if they were big here, they might be big on the other side of the island. And boy were we right. We found the correct pull off for the blowhole this time and walked down to it. The water was shooting out of it about 20 feet up in the air. It was amazing. We spent about an hour playing in the water, watching it.

After we left the blowhole we headed back in to Lahaina for dinner at Bubba Gumps. We had a great time sitting outside watching the sun set eating great food. After dinner we headed home to pack up and get ready to check out in the morning. Our flight was to leave at 11am. However, when we got back to the timeshare, Nick was sad that we didn't get any beach time in today, so we headed back to the beach and let all three kids play in the water till way after dark. In the morning we finished packing and returned the lawn chairs and boogie board we had rented and headed to the airport. We had a wonderful time in Maui and can not wait to go back again soon. We have taken many family vacations and we all agree that this holiday was the best we have ever had.
