Got up early....still adjusting to the time change...but had a much needed good nights sleep!!!
I went for a walk....wasn't sure where I was going but I followed the ocean path until it stopped then walked awhile along the road...all in all took a 2mile walk.
Got everyone ready and we stopped to feed the Koi fish before heading to breakfast...
After breakfast Paul and I drove to the store to stock up on a few groceries....always nice to have some snacks for the kids....
We also stopped at the Whaler Village to check out Kelly and Cory's stomping grounds..this is where they stay when they come here...we did a little more shopping, I got a really cute vintage swim suit from Maggie Coulombe...

Had a good nights sleep actually slept until 7:30am...I think we are all finally starting to adjust..
Took the kids to feed the fish (this has become a morning ritual) then off to breakfast...
We decided to take the kids to visit the Maui Ocean Center...
Had a great time checking out all the fish...most of which can only be found in the Hawiian Islands.
After the aquarium...we hit the beach..our hotel had chairs and umbrellas set up for us...Paul and the kids did some snorkeling...the reef was right off the beach and they were succesful seeing many fish some of which we just saw a the aquarium...they also saw some sea turtles!!!
We went from the beach to the pool...Noah was so tired!!! we swam for awhile then took him back to the room to lay him down before dinner...He finally fell asleep around 7pm...Jade offered to stay with him while the rest of us went to dinner at Merrimans...it was located a short distance from our hotel...but the hotel staff offered to drive us down there on a golf cart...the kids enjoyed that!!!
Again another beautiful sunset and view!!! Great food...
Headed back to the hotel...Noah was still asleep and ended up sleeping a full 12hrs...guess he needed it!!

Happy Birthday Sean Michael!!!
I get the head to the spa today to have a pedicure!!! I didn't have time to get one before I left PA...
I had a great day!!! We all went to the pool and hung out...Paul took Noah up for a early nap and Caleb, Jacob and Lily took a shuttle to DT Fleming beach....For awhile it was just Jade and I at the pool...well she pretty much just slept!!!
It was a very peaceful time for ME!!!!
After the pool I went back to the room and actually watched a movie!!! Haven't done that in a LONG time...
Paul and I had dinner reservations for Mama's Fish House tonight...because of the distance we hired a driver to take us as well as a sitter to stay with the kids...
We had a nice time however, I am not sure Mama's has been my favorite restraunt so far...
