Maui, Hawaii!!!!!!!!

The Rigby's took the whole family (all 9 of us) to Maui for a week! It was my first time going to Hawaii EVER! It was so amazing!!!!

We went on the most amazing boat trip around Lana'i. The captain of the boat was absolutely crazy and full of energy, even more energy than Brett! We saw some of the most beautiful sights ever and stopped to snorkel 3 times. It was my favorite part of the trip!



Our last day at the beach, Brett and I were laying on the beach watching the huge waves and one of them washed all the way up the shore and soaked us and our towels. Brennan, Melissa, Brett, and I built a moat and a sand wall around where we were laying and all 9 of us laid in it and were the only people on the beach because of how high the tide was. Building the wall was really fun!
Brett and I went out to a romantic sunset dinner. I loved watching the waves and the beautiful sunset!

I got to go to my first luau! The food was great and the show was amazing. There was a guy who danced with fire and I loved watching the girls hula... only because I tried to do it and failed miserably.

We hiked up to a beautiful waterfall.

Mike did a double backflip off the 40 foot cliff even though everyone told him not to. He hit his feet on the bottom and Brett had to carry him down the hike and he had to go to the ER. He ended up being fine, just really bruised up.

We also got to go on an amazing helicopter ride over Moloka'i! We saw where Jurrasic Park was filmed and some amazing waterfalls. It was my first ride in a helicopter and it was so much fun!

All in all, my first Hawaii experience was amazing and I had so much fun! I want to go back right now!!!!!
