I'm committed to get some photo documentation of our trip, last week, to Maui up on the blog, so here goes nothing.
We spent an incredibly relaxing week just north of Lahaina on Maui's west coast from the 9th-16th of May. Grandma and Grandpa Svendsen were there, and were a huge help. If it wasn't for them, I don't know if Nicole and I would have gotten any rest at all.
We arrived late Saturday night, and woke up the next morning to celebrate mother's day. What a joy to be with my wife (and mom extraordinaire) as well as with my mom, Cindy. Happy blog mother's day ladies!
We spent our first day with Gigi, Nicole's cousin, who lives on Oahu. Happy mother's day to Gigi as well! Siena loved her glasses, and looks pretty cute in them too.
Here's one of the only shots of the whole crew. This in on Kaanapali beach after a nice dinner. Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for the accurate spelling of any locations or beaches for this post or the next two. My spelling attempts will be as accurately as I can remember them. Thank you.
Here's a shot of Bert, Cindy and Si under the old Banyan tree in Lahaina. Nicole thought she was out of the picture, but little did she know I had switched to wide format mode to capture the spread of the tree. Ah Ha! By the way this SINGLE tree covers almost an acre. Dang!
Here's a shot of one of my most proud moments on the trip: taking Nicole out for a date in the mini van. I affectionately called it the "mini." If I'm able to hold my ground, and I expect I will, we won't be getting one of these any time soon. Needing the mini, reminds us that we're officially a family of four! I will confess, mini's are incredibly functional. Feel free to post your mini van love/hate responses in the comments...

Where was Sawyer? Looks like so much fun. Chesley and I are going June 1-8. Can't wait.
Love the family photo!!!
And the mini....THE most practical car for mom. I will give it that. We will be miniless as well. It actually looks sporty, maybe b/c a cool dad was next to it.
Thank you for posting all the HI pics. I know it is tasking!
i have to tell you the mini was pretty incredible and almost won me over!!!!
we had a mini last summer in maine - and let me tell you - once those doors opened with a pres of a button - I was SOLD!!!
CLASSIC pic of Erik taking Nic out for a night on the town in the mini. I love it! We could have never imagined . . . ;)
So had to comment - Love Minivans!!! Have driven my best friends for years when I'm up visiting her in Oregon and its the best thing to have with kids. It fits so many of them, easy for them to get in and out of the car and so comfy. Her's didn't even have the automatic doors. Get one so I can drive it - I'll promise lots of babysitting hours...
