Aubrey Rose loves Maui too!

So we are here in Maui for Thanksgiving week...and lovin' every minute of it! We arrived yesterday and are staying for a week. We are here with Blake's family. Aubrey Rose has been such a good girl...which is no surprise to us. :-) Today we hung out at the hotel, laying out, swimming in the pools, eating, resting, playing games and being completely entertained by our little girl. We learned a lot about Aubrey Rose today. We learned she doesn't like her feet in the sand, she doesn't like to stand or crawl on the grass and she doesn't enjoy the pool being cold. (Please don't tell her, when she is old enough to understand, that we laughed the whole time while she fussed, with no tears by the way, as though we were torturing her.) Thankfully, she came around to the water thing. We slowly got her accustomed to the temperature and soon we got a picture of her smiling. The grass and the sand...those are still a work in progress. I have a great picture of her crying while on her hands and knees. Pretty entertaining!
Maui is quite different with a little one in tow. It is so much fun to wonder what her little mind is thinking when she looks out onto the ocean or when she holds on to me tighter as the wind blows. Blake's parents were so sweet to take Aubrey up for a nap while we got to lay out in the sun, instead of hiding her in the shade as much as possible. It was such a wonderful day! Tonight we got ready and went to a basketball game. We watched the Oregon Ducks beat Alabama in the Maui Invitational and then tomorrow we get to watch Oregon play again...but this time against NORTH CAROLINA (which is probably Blake's favorite team). We are really looking forward to it. Tomorrow I think we are going to do a little shopping too. We of course have some wonderful pictures that we will share, but I haven't been able to download them yet. In the meantime, here is a little update. Thanks for checking in on us!!
