Kite Surfing

Well, as you know, one of our main focuses here on the island of Maui is kite boarding or kite surfing. Brian's job is all about this sport, and our new past time is all about learning and perfecting this great new extreme sport. The above pic is Dave kite boarding out in front of their place at sunset. Our girls love to hang out at kite beach and watch mommy try to learn this challenging activity while daddy goes out trying his wake board tricks while kiting.
Well, Julia has been begging to try to learn this sport, however it is a little too challenging for an 8 year old. But, she was able to take a little ride along with one of the Cabrinha riders, Cameron. Here is a little clip of this amazing ride.....

Iao Valley

The rainy hike to the Iao Needle with Uncle Dave and Auntie Alli. The waterfalls were absolutely amazing. It was pouring all day and we couldn't kite board, so we decided to go check out the waterfalls. The river was rushing down the valley and the road up to the lookout was a little crazy for a little minivan, but all worth it for the spectacular views (and did you expect any less when hanging out with Dave and Alli, always some kind of adventure)....
