Noah's Mini Vacation

Over Father's Day weekend, Noah was invited to visit some dear friends from AZ who were vacationing on Maui!  I was his first solo flight ever....luckily for him, it was super short!  Mom was still nervous.  The funny thing is that I received a picture of him and his friend at the Maui airport before I was even home from dropping him off!  Talk about a short flight!
Still, the second he entered the plane and I could no longer see him, no matter how brave I am, and how much I trust my son, there was still a nervous/scared/anxious/sinking feeling about it.  Thankfully, the family he was visiting is amazing.  They have always cared for Noah as one of their own and Noah feels like he is part of their family!  Thanks to the Emigs for helping to make Noah's summer extra special!

Here he is waiting at the gate to board the plane.

 He was way too excited to be leaving me!

 He is so old!

 He made it to Maui!  BFFs reunited.

 Sunday, the did the road to Hana....this was their quaint little lunch spot.  Noah said he saw tons of waterfalls and even swam in a cave!  I'm pretty sure he had a blast!

 His mama for the weekend!

Here he is at black sand beach....pretty cool.

Once again many mahalos to our friends from AZ!  Perhaps next year we will all crash your family vacation! :)

Almost forgot to mention....when I picked him up from the airport, I was first told the wrong gate....there were a couple of panicked minutes there of Caleb and I frantically running around the Hawaiian terminal searching for Noah! AAHHHH!
