Maui Day 6: The Lord's Day

Back in Memphis, before we left for our trip, our good friend Heidi Stokke told us about a great little church in Maui.  

So Sunday morning, we woke up and got ready for church!  We drove Northwest and found Kumulani Chapel, which is a non-denominational church.  The sermon was outstanding and we were so thankful we went.  What could be better than worshipping OUR GOD with other believers in Hawaii?

Notice the leis we received because we were visitors :)

There was a ceiling and some sides to the building, but it was "open-air" (like most places in Hawaii).

I am taking the picture standing outside.

Singing to the Lord and looking out at his creation.  Amazing.

After church we just went back to our condo and relaxed by the pool.  Justin swam some laps in the ocean since he was getting ready for his upcoming triathlon.  Once he finished, we hopped in the jeep and drove to Kanapali Beach right down the road.  It is supposed to be the best beach in our condo area.  

Ahhhh....Kanapali Beach.

It was SO WINDY that afternoon. (Maui is a very windy place in general, but esp on the beaches in late afternoon.)  I don't know if you can tell by this picture, but Justin is COVERED with sand from the wind blowing it on him.

Here is a close-up.  His whole face and neck...just covered.  (Justin thanks for shielding me!)

We decided we had had enough of the wind-blowing sand so we went back to the condo and got our running clothes on.  We jogged 3 miles together then got ready for dinner.

We went to Leilani's.

We were going to sit outside because the view was so pretty, but it was really cool that evening and we wouldn't have to wait if we took the table that was ready inside.  

Finishing up dessert....HULA PIE!  It's kind of like Oreo ice cream cake.  Can you tell I am thoroughly enjoying it?

The restaurant was right next to Whaler's Village which is a neat little shopping area.  So after dinner, we walked around and look in all the little shops and found some little gifts to bring back to the kids ;)

What a much-needed relaxing day.
