The best time was had hunting for geckos. And Maui has a lot of them. The little woman discovered that the bigger ones bite. The littler ones might also but their mouths aren't big enough to hurt. She spent time every day searching through the trees behind us looking for them.
Every day had at least three hours in the pool. Not all at once. Once in the morning. Once in the afternoon and then again after dinner. Trying to stay out of the worst sun. Maui was having a heat wave. Broke records from twenty years ago.
I watched in amazement as they discovered goggles are best for pools as it helps keep the chlorine out of the eyes. They became so much more comfortable in the water. Not in the not afraid of anything way, but in the way of discovering what they can do. The little man discovered he floats really well and that led him to swimming in the deep end a lot. They learned more how to dive and get things off the bottom of the pool without having to think about what they needed to do. It was just awesome.
