Maui Ocean Centre.....

The last time we were here, Elliot was this tiny little baby looking at all these giant sharks!!!  Pretty trippy to come back with 2 crazy, running boys!!!

 Biggest Puffer fish i have EVER seen!! Doesn't it look like E.T??  My fav of the centre....hands down.

 These boys have become better friends on this trip....they laugh all the time (which is loud and constant.....but i am NOT complaining, i LOVE that they love eachother!!)......they are sweet boys who only want to make you happy too.....and get a laugh out of you....so, its been good.

 This is the face we have been struggling with a little bit while here on holidays.  Chris and I know dread the 'gift shop', as this is the face we are confronted with after a million no's to the 'asks'!!!  We have been working alot on what we need and what we want with him.  It was promising to hear him say yesturday that his family is most important to him, and not the stuff.....but its an uphill battle with these boys.  As parents, we just want to give them everything, don't we?  Well, its a fine line we walk....and I have a feeling, we have been walking on the wrong side....everything is a process.

 And this kid knows how to play the game....when Elliot acts all grumpy for not getting what he wants, Isaac is a touch 'happier' than usual, a little more 'co-operative' than usual......

We are having a good time, and we are nearing the end of our vacation, and its alot of time to spent all together all the time.....these 3 boys seem happier to stay inside and watch tv......we have dragged them out alot and perhaps they are just tired now that we are at the end?  We have done alot.....but its our last full day today!!!  We leave tommorow at 10pm!!  It will be nice to go home....and I know then I will be pining for this place and the heat!!

Best feeling ever is walking out of airconditioned buildings into the heat......BEST!!!!  Especially when you are used to cold hitting you!!  I am going to really really really miss the heat!!!!!!!!!
