Miss Mallory Presents:

Mallory loves to put on a show. Thus, our after dinner entertainment was often a song and dance show by Miss Mallory with occasional appearances by Edee. I also know that Mallory loves to watch videos of herself, so I took these for her!

Enjoy!

Sea Kayaking with the Dolphins

This was probably one of my favorite activities. The day that we were leaving Hawaii to go back home, Chase and I got up early and went down to our tried and true beach in downtown Kona. It really was a great beach. It was perfect for the kids, had the best beach snorkeling that Brian had seen before (he would know!), AND had a little hut that you could rent equipment from. Courtney and Chase rented a stand up paddle board on day 1. On Day 2 at the same beach, Chase and I rented a stand up paddle board. Chase was brave! Pictures of that to come! Then on the last day, Chase and I rented a sea kayak and went on a search for dolphins.

We had been out for awhile and we were pretty far away from the shore. I was a little nervous. We had turned around to head back towards the shore when the dolphins came up out of no where! They stayed around us the whole time. I would say that we got to kayak with the dolphins for about 30 minutes. At one point in time they were right under our kayak! We didn't see any jump out of the water too much, but they were still awesome. Here are a couple of videos! The second one is definitely the best!

Say Aahhh Chhooo Edee

Randomly at lunch on our first full day in Maui, Edee started saying aaahhh chhooo very loudly and drawn out. It is my understanding that Mallory has said it before but this is the first time Edee started repeating it. At lunch, the girls were just feeding off each other an having a great time! As a result, they didn't get to sit next to each other much at lunch for the rest of vacation. Its hard to get a good meal in when your laughing the whole time! Enjoy these videos of Edee being cute. I think the only one that maybe caught aaahh chhooo on it was the last video where I forgot to take off the cap for the first part...

Mallory Hula Dances

Mallory wasn't feeling very well the night of the Hawaiian show at our resort. She loved the show though and wanted to stay! Its a good thing she did because the kids got to go up on stage and learn to hula! Mallory wasn't shy at all and I was able to catch some of it on video. 

I'm going to apologize for the quality. I get a little zoom happy sometimes and had trouble holding the camera still! I think I managed to get the worst parts edited out though in these.

Enjoy!

Mallory did such an awesome job! Chase and I had been hiking in Haleakala National Park. We decided on our way home that we wanted to see a sunset (our first really), so we ran straight out to the beach. I'm so glad we did, because we found everyone and got to see Mallory on stage!

Whale Watching in Maui

Hello Family!

I created this blog in order to upload the videos that I took in Hawaii. For now, I'm just going to upload the raw footage. If I ever get some extra time I'd like to edit some of them down and maybe even make myself a photo journal like Courtney did!

Enjoy!
