Maui – Day 1 – Beach and Pool Update

We purchased a waterproof camera specifically for this trip and tried it out on Christmas Day at the pool and at the beach.  My feelings are mixed about the camera right now; the automatic zoom isn’t the greatest and thought at the end of the day on Saturday there seemed to be condensation showing up in the pics……but, I was able to take some pictures I never would have gotten without it, so, I should stop my complaining.

Matthew, in full attack mode.  First picture is the pose, the second is the attack on the helpless wave.

Pictures 1 and 3 are my favorites of this Christopher set; always love the big toothy grin he has and then he’s on the boogie board in the 3rd picture but it looks like he’s a shark trying to sneak up on us…

And then there were beach games; Kevin and Matthew are doing some beach crawl in the top photo, and then Kevin and Christopher are trying to keep out of the surf in the bottom two.

Switched over to the pool to finish the morning….the pool is all of 100 feet from the beach.  Followed Matthew around at first.

And then ran into Kevin and Christopher as we moved around the pool (it surrounds this rock structure that you can see in the background of some of the photos)
