Last day in Paradise! :(

Early the last morning, we went on another dive with the amazing one we went on Wednesday.

First thing when I jumped in, the dive master told me to look under me. This is what was there!

This picture is from about 5 feet from it. And it was about 4 feet long!

Lotsa fishies just swimming around!

Evil spotted butterfly fish! they're mean! They will lure you over so that you're above another fish's eggs and since the other fish is scared of you, it will leave and then the yellow fish will eat its eggs! Mean!

We think that's Mom blowin bubbles

Scary Jack fish

really cool

We think it's Jake on far left, Sam below and MMae above

Sam, Mom and Me after our dives. I'm eating a celebratory cinnamon roll. I didn't run out of air!! :)

J in front of the boat. Our captain didn't think he was that strong... :)

Me in front of the boat

Ooops, this urchin is out of order! :)

J likes trains, so we went to see the sugar cane train

He had fun

The Curtis family loves a sushi roll called Spamango. It's got candied spam (cooked in brown sugar, soy sauce and stuff), rice, mango, and seaweed. It's pretty good.

My mom saw this spam sandwich sushi thing and thought of Jason.

Pretty Rainbow!

Then, the last night, we went and got henna tattoos! Very fun! I felt so rebellious!

This is J's tiki turtle

MMae got the same thing as me

Sam got a really neat turtle

Jake got an amazing manta ray on his forearm, but I didn't get any pictures. My bad.

Today, we leave for a LONG time.

This weekend is a family reunion in Nephi, Utah where I won't have internet access.

Then, next Thursday, I'm going to ARKANSAS!!!!!!

Can you tell I'm EXCITED?!?!?! I can't wait!! First thing on the agenda is a cabin and boating! I'm thuper duper exthited! :)

So when I have internet access again, I will post!

Day five in Paradise!

First on the agenda on Friday June 10th was parasailing!

Almost everyone went!!

First was Mom and Dad

Photo of the next group!

Isn't that cool with the lighting?

Dippin their toes

here we go!!

They dipped us 3 times!

The next group! Siz was scared, but said she loved it! (her pics are my favorite...she may get mad at me for putting these up...)

We turned around from all of the water we were hitting!

:)

My handsome younger brother

hehehe

He loved it, of course!

J and I were waiting for the rest of the group to get back from the boat

The ocean is beautiful

Check out that splash!!

Me and my best friend

After parasailing, we went to Lahaina for souvenirs and to see the sights.

This is the Banyan Tree. This is ONE tree. It grows up and sends down roots and grows up again and sends down roots. It takes up an entire block.

Siz and W at the Banyan Tree

This is the center/main trunk

Cute

hehehe W works at Geico....

My tiki man

Yummy food at Cool Cats

The view from our Lanai

Day four in Paradise!

And a little of leftover day 3!

My clock on my camera was still in Mountain time, so this picture was from midnight...

but really, it was about 7.

Gorgeous sunset

View from my sibling's room of the pool. It's an awesome pool. I love it.

This year it was saline water instead of chlorine. At first, I didn't like it, but it grew on me.

He knows how to paint, doesn't He?

So now we're back to day 4!

We had a girls' day scheduled for Thursday.

First, Liz brought stickers for our nails. I put some on my toes and then one on each hand. Very cute

This is the view of the island from my lanai (balcony)

When we went shopping, Mom got us all cute little toe rings.

Then, we went to Moose McGillycuddy's for lunch.

And then we had the BEST shaved Ice I have EVER had!

Ours was Mango, Pineapple, and Guava. Then, underneath, (as if that wasn't enough) we had macadamia nut ice cream.

It was glorious!

OOh! Then, if you got to the bottom of the flavoring, you could go to the front of the line and ask for more flavor in your ice! And you could get a different flavor!!

VERY worth it! We liked it a lot.

This is my beautiful sister. We shared that massive snow cone.
