Surprise=Maui

Travis has been super stressed at work, understandibly! So, when Mark called and said he wanted to surprise LaNae and take her somewhere and asked if we would like to go with I was all for it! Mark and I decided to keep it a surprise from Travis and LaNae and finally decided on Maui. We got some incredible deals and it ended up being a pretty cheap trip. We had so much fun! Travis did end up finding out where we were going a couple of days beforehand because he is snoopy. But LaNae didn't know even where we were going until we go to the airport. We drove the road to Hana. It was beautiful, but we found out we are more of "destination" people instead of "enjoy the ride" people lol. We hung out by the pool and the on the beach alot. We went to a luau, which was quite the experience! Mom stayed at our house with all 8 kids! She is so AMAZING! It was an awesome trip and we can't wait to go back :)

We went to Hilo Hatties and picked out the most "touristy" looking shirts we could for Mark and Travis. They were such good sports and it was super funny :)
We were hanging out on Big Beach on Wailea and this guy was doing these really weird jumps so his wife could take his picture. We were all laughing at him because he could barely get off the sand. So Travis decided he would go and show him how its done. Pretty impressive huh!


On our drive to Hana we kept seeing fruit all over the ground. We finally saw some on a tree and I really wanted to figure out what it was... it was passionfruit :)
Because Maui had been receiving so much rain the last week or so the waterfalls were absolutely spectacular.
It wasn't raining (at this point) it was just really wet!
Mark wanted a better view of the waterfalls and to fully appreciate our topless jeep he decided to stand on the seat for a better view :)
Travis insisted on a Jeep. It was a ton of fun, even if it was kind of a piece of junk!
... and of course, a Hawaiian chicken!
