Road to Hana

We had quite the adventure finding a church here on Maui. We spent an hour driving around trying to find the 8 am church. When we finally found it we were told it doesn't start until 9 am so it all worked out :)

After Sacrament Meeting we spent the Sabbath Day observing God's beautiful earth on the Road to Hana. The views were spectacular!!













Our last stop right before Hana was the Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach. We ended up staying for hours exploring the beautiful bay.


There was a little cave that opened up to the ocean. Cole and Dax loved it, but Ellie was a little  nervous about the water. Cole and Ben climbed up into an opening to the top of the rock formation. It was an amazing experience!



 



We followed the beach to a trail that went along the coastline there to another bay area. It was magnificent! We even saw a beautiful spider (I never thought those two words could go together!) and some sort of rodent that I didn't take the time to figure out what it was :)














We let the kids play on the beach for a bit before we left. Cole jumped the waves, Elise ran from the waves, and Dax was in heaven throwing rocks:



Ben was a little jealous of the campers and their amazing view! 


Grandma got us some great condos along the beach in Hana called the Hana Kai. We slept to the sound of the ocean...and the kids slept great!

Can't wait to see what's in store for tomorrow!!
