I can't tell you guys enough how blessed I feel to have family in Hawaii and how much aloha they really have. I spent 10 magical days on the Island of Maui and took some photos to share with you. Life is pretty simple once you start seeing the beauty in it. Sometimes, we all just need a vacation to see that beauty.
Flower me up.
My Momma, relaxing.
Love this Island.
I was defiantly bird watching. This little critter was cracking me up.
