Maui (Madeleine's 18th Month Birthday)

Hawai'i has many islands, today the family was off to one called Maui. And when I say today, I mean today because it was literally a day trip. There and back again in 12 hours. Maui is beautiful, smaller than Oahu (and yet still has a Costco?!? - that means it's Cobbler's favourite Hawaiian island). It was beautiful and quite the adventure. Baby threw a hissy-fit and the VISA went awol but aside from that, it was an awesome day; check out the aftereffects of the earthquake off the coast of Samoa in the background. Glad the family survived the tsunami warning.
Mom gives Madeleine some love; hopefully someday she'll remember how much I love tummy rubs.
Madeleine returns the favour.

Watching the waves.
And feeding the fishies.
Ohh, the legendary shave ice, which immediately preceded what will so be known as the legendary Baby M meltdown.
Madeleine spies a strange creature.

Tiki!!!
