Our return to Maui.......

We enjoyed an amazing vacation in Maui last week. It was a nice "end of summer" trip and Ava got to spend some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa Scifres. When we arrived it had been a long morning of traveling and with the 3 hour time difference it was late LA time, but that didn't seem to faze Ava at all. She was under the Hawaiian spell and couldn't stop smiling! She loved the sand, ocean, pool, and pretty much everything else about Maui except sleeping. For some reason she was totally against sleeping the entire week....maybe she was afraid she would miss something?? The lack of sleep didn't slow us down nor stop us from enjoying our time in Maui. Here are some pictures capturing our relaxing and fun week in the sun!

First dip in the ocean was a success! I'm not sure if it was the ocean she liked or the reaction from all of us...but either way no tears were shed!

I took this picture on my morning run along the beach. Maui is such a beautiful place.

Looking at the fish with grandma. Since Ava couldn't join us when we snorkeled we took her to the aquarium so she could experience the sea life.

Hanging with her grandparents before we head to the airport.

Getting ready to head out to the beach!

Beach baby!!

Loving the ocean!!
