I went Parasailing this weekend!!!

Pictures say a thousand words!

I've been doing lots of stuff lately, I just haven't blogged much. So I tossed up some slide shows so you could all see what I've been up to!

Halloween was pretty fun. Down in Lahaina every year there is a HUGE party. They block off the streets and everyone roams around in costume. Some call it the Mardi Gras in Maui. It really is wild and most everyone is dressed up. A lot of people take the opportunity to see how little they can wear without being actually naked. It was crazy! But it was fun. I can't wait to go next year and dress up in my Wonder Woman costume!! I know I'll be the coolest kid there :)

One thing I have always wanted to do is volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and I got the chance to do that this last weekend. I really like the idea of helping people to get a house when they otherwise might not be able to. I loved being on a construction site and actually understanding what they were trying to accomplish. Early on in the day I volunteered to cut some wood and that became my permanent post for the day. I cut all the lumber (2x4's) for the framing around the windows for the house we were working on and the house that was going to be built next. It was SO fun!! We got about three complete walls up so it was nice to see some progress after being out there pretty much all day. I recommend anyone to volunteer for this very worthy cause!!

Other than that I've just been working and trying to play as much as possible! I'm really starting to miss everyone from back home... I wish someone would get on a plane and come visit me!!

The Lavender Farm

Since my birthday is coming up and my friend Jennifer had her birthday on Monday the 15th, we decided to invite some of our friends and go to Kula to the Lavender Farm. It was a beautiful day!! We arrived and had a lavendar tea and scones and then had a walking tour around the grounds. We followed that up with a yummy lunch and great conversation. We all had a great time and it was a nice way to spend my almost birthday! Here are some pictures of our day... and the rest of them are on my flickr account.

More Pictures...

At Stephanie's request I have posted more hiking pictures on my flickr account... you can find them at the following address: http://www.flickr.com/photos/grenouille459

Enjoy!

I'm still alive... check out what I've been up to!!

I just realized that I totally slacked in September. Two posts?? I mean really. That is pathetic!! When I started this blog I thought I would write every day because I mean, I live in Hawaii... Maui for goodness sake! I should have something exciting to say EVERY SINGLE DAY! Well the sad thing is that I am doing a TON of fun stuff here but every day is kinda not that exciting... I wake up, go to work, hang out and then go to bed. Kinda the same stuff that I did back in Sacramento but it is MUCH prettier here! One thing that I have been doing a lot of is hiking... Actually I just looked back at my pictures and discovered that that is pretty much all I did in September! And instead of trying to describe what I've been up to, I decided to follow everyone else and just post a slide show! So here is what I've been up to! These pictures, while pretty, do not even begin to do justice to the absolute beauty I have found here... hopefully it will inspire all of you to come visit me so I can show you!!
