Maui

We went to Maui over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate Sean's birthday and have some fun! It didn't hurt that Maui is the only Hawaiian island that has a Krispy Kreme shop. The Burke's are BIG KK fans. So, as soon as we landed, our first stop was to get some hot and fresh donuts. Not the healthiest dinner, but definitely delicious.


Maui is gorgeous. No doubt about it. We drove along the Road to Hana, an all day drive along a narrow, twisty road with breathtaking views. We stopped to hike around some amazing waterfalls and swim at a black sand beach.




Maui has an awesome aquarium. The kids loved seeing the sharks, sea turtles, and manta rays. There is a huge glass tunnel that you can walk through while watching the animals swim around and above you. Very cool.

Jaxon and I went parasailing together. What a great mother-son bonding experience!! It was beautiful up there.


A beautiful sunset at the beach was the perfect way to end our vacation.

Mason

Its been a LONG time since I've posted anything, but I might just have a few minutes, so what better way to spend some free time than sharing some pictures of my adorable kids? This picture shows Mason's true character: a fun loving, happy, goofy kid. He loves to run around with Ella's clothes on, especially hats and shoes. He is also a fan of oven mitts. Put them together, and you have a toddler ready for a batch of brownies or a winter storm, maybe both. He's cute, bottom line.
