Aloha from the Paulsons Part 2

Here are pictures from Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There wasn't much beach time these days as we had such a huge torrential downpour on Friday that the runoff caused the ocean to be very murky. What we heard later from our local friends is that the murky water draws the sharks... Glad we didn't try to swim!

The family visited the Maui Ocean Center. It was a cool and impressive aquarium. Jace says that his favorite part was the sharks exhibit. His next favorite were the fake seals.

Each day we made a trip to the swimming pool and Jace loved it! He really grew in leaps in bound with his swimming ability. With water wings attached and a noodle underneath him, Jace swam around the pool like a champ. He even let us dunk him and didn't mind it at all.

Here are some pictures from our last few days of our big family adventure in Maui.

Jace has taken up photography as a new hobby. We will be highlighting some of his work in an upcoming post.

While Jesse was playing in the first Gilbert-Docking (bride & groom) Invitational Golf Tournament, Stephanie and the kids visited the Iao Valley.

Here is a sneak peak of a Jace photo:

The main reason we decided to visit Maui in October was to attend the wedding of our good friends Cassandra and Gavin. It was a beautiful and warm evening. The setting was unbelievable and it was a super awesome party. Here are some of our favorite pictures from the ceremony.

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii and can't wait for our next family adventure.
