Hawaiian Paradise! --- Day 1

By -
I cannot begin to describe how awesome our trip to Maui was!  It was Heaven on Earth!!  From the moment we left Phoenix to the moment we left Honolulu, it was nothing but pure greatness!!  If we didn't have kids and our lives here, I would already be relocating :o) I'm sure everyone says that, but it was such a wonderfully-amazing trip with just the 2 of us!!!

We flew Hawaiian Airlines and I will never go with anyone else but them! 

They are so stinking happy, the plane is huge and roomy, the food is pretty good and the entertainment is a great way to beat the 6 hour flight! 

We took these shots from the plane shortly before we landed of Honolulu.  The water was amazingly beautiful from the sky!!



When we arrived in Honolulu, we had about 3 hours so we got a bite to eat at this restaurant called Stinger Rays Bar & Grill---despite it being in an airport, it was delicious!!  Of course, I had to try a drink, which is now my most favorite drink ever...Blue Hawaii!!!

As soon as we arrived  in Maui, we were greeted with these beautiful lei's...

And off we were to our beautiful resort...

After we checked in, we were taken by a golf cart to our room...we thought we were in a regular room of the tower, but not this time!!  We were staying in a cottage on the property that was minimal walking distance from the beach, lobby, restaurant, basically everywhere!!  It was amazing!




This was our view from our room and patio...

After we dropped off our stuff, we headed straight for the beach where we ran into this big guy...

These Monk Seals rarely beach themselves around people, but this one apparently wanted to get some rays!

We too, soaked in a little rays...



Then we had dinner at our resort, which was outside overlooking the ocean---again, beautiful! 


 While eating dinner we had a little entertainment!  First the beautiful dancer and then the girls and guys from the Luau putting a mini show to welcome us to the resort!  They danced for a bit and then the guys put on a fire show!


And our first nights sunset...

Aloha!

Our weekend craziness started a little early on Friday morning when someone got a little hair cut by another 5 year old in this house... The boys wanted to watch a show before swim lessons and when I called them down, I got no response so I ran up there and Tyson says, "Mom! I get a jelly bean because I let Lincoln cut my hair!!".  Um, no. I didn't get a picture of him, but this is his hair...a lot of his hair!  It was cut in so many chunks and some places right to the scalp, so he got his head shaved today...and, he's so darn cute!   The Majorek kids and Richardson kids finally got to hang out and so we took the kids to Chuck E Cheeses...not our ideal place to hang, but the kids had a great time!  This little dudes face was so darn cute on this ride :o) And best news of the weekend, this kids finally learned how to swim!!!!  We have no idea as to why all of a sudden he decided to do it, ...

Highs & Lows of Surgery

Recovering after his surgery Thank you all for praying for Tyson, he is recovering great after a very long surgery Tuesday. Usually it takes a few days to close their chests back up after surgery, but his swelling was not too bad so, Dr. Nigro was able to close it on Wednesday, which is fantastic! He was doing really well with his breathing on the ventilator while trying to ween him off, that they decided to remove that Wednesday morning. After they removed it unfortnately, Tyson stopped breathing 5 different times within about 30-45 minutes after the ventilator was removed. The Nurses, Doctors and Respitory Therapists were still with him and were able to make him breathe again on his own after messing with and having to "bag" him. They believe that he still had the sedative medication in his blood stream and was not as awake enough. They gave him medication to reverse the effects of the sedative so that he would wake up which worked and he became stable. A few hours later ...
