Happy Birthday, Nick!

 Another birthday for Nick while in Hawaii!

He got to open presents in the morning and received a new headset for playing video games from Mom and Dad (but chosen and purchased by Chris so it was sure to be the right one!).

Also, a nerf "winged" football from the Shaeffers that is so cool "because it whistles!"

Early birthday dessert at Nick's at the Fairmont. That's really the name of the restaurant!

His birthday request was the whale tour and snorkeling on the Island Star.

We loved getting to share our favorite activity with the Dunc, Kristin, Adam & Curt.

Whales were everywhere today! 

We saw lots of whales backs "logging" so close to the boat. (Just laying near the top of the water.)

Many "tail" sightings and one flapping fin.

Right at the end of the tour, a whale breeched very near us and then the next second it's companion breeched! After that they jumped several times out of the water. Soooo exciting and such a great way to end the tour!

We got back to the resort early afternoon. The adults took naps and the kids played on the beach!

Dinner at Coconuts in Kihei and Shave Ice at Local Boys to end our evening.

Screaming underwater... "Mom, can you hear me?"
I totally remember doing this with Michelle when we were young!
