Tuesday, November 20, 2007 - Day 6

It's picture day! I was a little nervous about the weather, since it said "Scattered Showers" and the sky looked a little gray when I looked out the window. The weather ended up being beautiful anyway. We had family pictures taken around the garden and beach at the resort. The only time the boys would wear the kukui nut necklace I bought them was down the elevator. I had picked up Orchid leis the night before for all the girls in the group. My boys were the difficult ones during the shoot of course, but I think we got some good shots ... I hope! We'll find out when we get back home. The photographer, Joe, told us it would take about 6-8 weeks to get the pictures back, so I told him that I would edit the photos myself, if he just sends me all the raw photos. Needless to say, that will be my big project when we get back home, since I want these photos in time for Christmas.

We had planned to go to the Iao Valley with the family, but decided that we were too tired from the photo shoot to do anything, but go to the pool / hot tub with the Deans. Ryan decided that it was windy enough to go kitesurfing right out in front of the resort. There was already a guy kiting there and come to find out, we were right next to a kitesurfing spot all along. There had to be over a dozen guys kiting out there at the same time as the wind picked up. Ryan enjoyed playing in the waves and had a good time.

5:00 rolled around and we had dinner reservations at 5:30pm for Kobe Japanese Steakhouse in Lahaina, where we were meeting up with Uncle Sammy, Auntie Alice, Irene, Lee, Nicole, Sonya, Al & Sean. We felt bad because we were running late and we were the hosts of the dinner. There were 25 of us total, so we were unable to sit together at one large table. Instead, we were at 3 separate tables that were closeby. They put on a great show and the food was fantastic. We decided to walk along Front Street after dinner, going through many shops, etc. It was another beautiful day in Maui.
