 the start of the flag

 awww this picture didnt turn out good (direct sun in our eyes) but the band is wearing leis :)

 the Vietnamese ladies supporting troops

 Woo hoo go Army Band!

 got the Marines in there for Papa George and Uncle Ric :)

 the girls favorite part of the parade, the dancers

 these look a lot like dandelion puffs...but they're pink and growing on trees. cool!

 on the walk back to the car, Kylee had to stop and play at a random ladder

 then Josh had to play, too :)

 love the exposed tree roots! Hawaii's trees are so cool!

Train Ride/Iao Valley

Riding a cool little train in Maui

We also toured Iao Valley

a bit of a hike to the top but worth it

the phallic symbol of maui. not kidding. thats what it says.
