Cafe O'Lei and Crocodile Rock

Okay, so I know our vacation was almost 3 months ago, but I just have to finish my online journal about our trip. :) On Friday, Natalie's boyfriend Shawn came over to spend the weekend with us because it was Natalie's 21st birthday that Sunday. Friday morning we went to Polo Beach for some relaxation before Natalie and I headed to the airport to pick up Shawn.

She's so beautiful...

This was the first time I felt Baby Elijah move. He was kicking so hard becuase his mommy was lying on her tummy!
Polo Beach
Ian and Dad went for a snorkeling excursion and saw 2 sea turtles! I still hadn't seen one!
After we picked up Shawn, we met up with Mom, Dad, Steven and Ian at Makena Beach for a little while so Shawn could enjoy his first Maui Beach.
On the way to dinner...
I absolutely love this picture of my mom and dad... they look so happy.
We ate at a restaurant called "Cafe O'Lei." Don't let the name fool you, it wasn't Maui Mexican food. From the street, it didn't look like anything special. But once you got inside, it was such a neat place with beautiful fabric hanging from the ceiling, white tableclothes, artwork... And on top of all that, the food was delicious! I had a mouthwatering fish dish, and I don't even like fish! I will definitely go back there when I return to Maui and would recommend it to anyone traveling to the island.

Ian was thrilled with all the picture taking going on... :)
Me with my Mommy and Daddy. These two people mean the world to me. I love them and respect them and I'm so grateful to have them in my life.
At Hilo Hattie's after dinner and Coldstone ice cream.
Okay, so if you read my blog several month ago, I posted a video after our friends Cruise Vacation in August of 2006. The last night of the cruise was a Celebrity Impersonation Night and one of the songs was Crocodile Rock, which Steven and I then had stuck in our heads for the next 24 hours and we would randomly burst into song in our goofy voices (I think we were just really really happy to be on vacation). Well, lo and behold, on the way to Coldstone on Friday night in Maui, what song comes on the radio? Crocodile Rock! So it has officially become our Vacation Song... And of course, we had to video it this year too...
