I am way behind in blogging and plan to do some long overdue posts over these next couple of weeks to catch up. This first one though is a little tough to do. Back in April we traveled to one of our very favorite places in the whole world--Maui, HI again with Nana and Pops. And actually this year Ryan's family also joined us which was so great! Below I'm going to show highlights of the trip through photos. But writing this post is emotional because in August--just a couple weeks ago, Maui had a devastating wildfire and it pretty much decimated Lahaina which is one of our favorite spots in Maui. It's still very surreal and we just can't quite wrap our brains around the fact that Lahaina is gone and will never be what it was. Our hearts break for the people who live there and lost everything and are suffering so much. We're grateful for this trip because it's such a happy place for us with millions of wonderful memories and little did we know in April that it was going to be our last time experiencing it in its beautiful, pristine, historical and beloved way. So this post is in a small way a tribute to the beautiful island of Maui as we pray for her recovery and hope for healing and restoration.

| At our favorite restaurant in the whole world--Lahaina Grill. Sadly the restaurant burned to the ground in the fires. So many amazing memories and meals here. |

| Visited the famous Banyan Tree in Lahaina which got burned in the fire. Not sure if it will survive or not. But I read today that it is showing signs of life and new roots are growing! |
