Wave girls

Pinga and QP-chan played close to the shore and had fun as the waves came in.

Wild chickens

Kids were surprised to see chickens running around at parking areas and other places. TRhis rooster was very big and was with his family.

Beach brothers

After a late lunch they went to Kamaole Beach park for some beach fun. Momo-chan and Coco-chan played nicely together building this turtle house and saving it from the waves. The conditions were unusual and the waves were extremely large and strong so it was not snorkeling or swim friendly.

Macaroon time

Coco-chan was up early as usual. While waiting for his siblings to wake up, he had macaroons. Not really a breakfast but it's vacation... He picked orange chocolate one.

Komoda bakery

Close to the house is this bakery with tasty donuts and malasadas. Today they bought breakfast there for the third time.

Relaxing

Yesterday, Pingu spent all day at the house. Pinga did some shopping and went out with twins to a mall with a playground.

Ice cream time

After the play area, Pinga's plan was to take them to Tasaka guri guri. They got to Maui Mall around 4 pm but it was already closed. So they went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream. Coco-chan decided right away that he wanted chocolate one. QP-chan wanted to have cotton candy but she tasted it and didn't like it. So it became Strawberry and Mississippi mud. They are good at sharing.

Jumping QP-chan

Here's QP-chan jumping from the whale tale.

Play area at the mall

Twins and Pinga drove to Maui's largest mall for some play area time. Mono-chan didn't want to follow and stayed home. The play area was not big at all but twins enjoyed it.

Beach time again

Yesterday late afternoon they went to Hookipa Beach again and enjoyed the waves.

Iao Valley State park

Yesterday they went to visit the small but nicely located Iao Valley State park in rainforest area. Momo-chan thought the "needle" more looked like a thumb.

Hawaii ouchi

This is the Airbnb that they are staying at on Maui. It is spacious and rural, quite different from there one in Honolulu. They do miss nearby shops and extra kitchen stuff though. Maui is also more expensive than the already expensive Honolulu.

Post meltdown milk shake

Momo-chan has been having difficult times lately. Yesterday was extra hard with not wanting to sit at our table, not wanting to eat lunch etcetera. A kind old man at the restaurant became concerned and gave Momo-chan a milkshake.

Car team

They are spending quite a bit in the car and are generally doing well. QP-chan sometimes complaints and says she wants to get off though. Snacks helps 😅.

Nakalele blowhole

After an hour of driving on winding and narrow roads they got to Nakalele blowhole on the north west part of Maui. It was high tide so they got to see the cool sprays.

Finally arrived

They finally got to Twin Falls. 3km hike was a bit tiring for 3 years old. Pingu windered if there's another waterfall. Pinga explained this was it. Amount of water changes depending on the water anount.

To the Twin Falls

Hiking to the Twin Falls took longer than Pinga thought. Momo-chan and Pinga were bitten by bugs but others were fine.

Pineapple breakfast

They started a day with pineapple breakfast. There was banana bread too but no one was interested other than Pinga.

Water dam

Momo-chan enjoyed the beach and spent time where small pools of water formed. He was excited to find tiny fish there.
