This will be part two of our Monday October 5th adventures.
Monday October 5th had a variety of activities with fewer participants. Dan and family left early to deliver Granny and Granny Great to their Helicopter ride. Dan and family enjoyed breakfast at a restaurant close to the helipad while they waited. The waitress brought these to Addy and JJ ‘on the house’ because she thought they were such a cute family. Addy’s dream come true to drink out of a coconut!
The rest of us had a leisurely morning before our car left the resort to meet up with this crew after the helicopter ride. We would meet at the Maui Zipline company on the grounds of the Maui Tropical Plantation.
These six brave souls were our zipliners. Granny Great (85) decided to take over Katie’s spot since Katie was still being sequestered on this day. Andrew was feeling a lot better.
The staff are in the bright yellow shirts. Besides our six there was another family of five.
Granny and Granny Great!
Gramps!
After three platforms Granny and Granny Great opted out of any more rides.
JJ and Auntie LoLo in the distance making videos. JJ knew he did not want to zipline. Me, Jamie and LoLo opted out and preferred watching along with JJ.
Addy was a trooper and had the time of her life!
The grounds were really beautiful and the farm grows over 65 varieties of tropical fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs and flowers.
I’ll save the rest of this day for another post or two. We were a little bummed that by the time our group was done with ziplining the whole farm had shut down so we couldn’t peruse the gift shop or get a refreshing drink. On the way back we stopped at a roadside grouping of shops and food trucks for some refreshment before making it all the way to our resort. Leoda’s Bakery Cafe specialized in all kinds of house made pies like turkey, beef, chicken and sweet pies. The sweet varieties were banana cream, chocolate macadamia, coconut and apple.
Hello,
I am sure the family had a fun time on the zip line. Great photos of your family. Take care, have a happy Thursday!
The zip line looks to be at the Maul Plantation???
Yes, Tom, the Maui Tropical Plantation.
Aww! How exciting for the kids to drink out of a coconut! It’s the little things like that which make a trip so special and helicopter rides! How cool! The zip lining looks like a lot of fun but I don’t think I would be brave enough.
I’m so impressed that Florence did the zipline! What a woman! Addy, too. 🥰
Granny Great sure is adventurous!! Good for her!
Oh those pictures had me smiling through every one of them How fun!
That looks so much fun. Well done you 🙂 what dramatic skies too. B x
Drinking through a coconut lookedlike fun. Zip lining can also be fun and a bit terifying, and best left for the young –Granny and Great Granny were good sports to try it a few times! Sad that Katie was not feeling well as yet, but glad Andrew was feeling better. The pies looked delicious!
Exciting and fun times. Oh, I love zip lines. So much fun!!!
You are such an adventurous group. Our trip to Maui was very low-key in comparison. I loved this! Thanks for sharing all those fun times Ellen.
So much fun together! What a fabulous time.
What beautiful blessings to make these generational memories together! What an inspiration!
Wow! I can’t imagine to doing ziplining at my age of 77, let alone at 85 like Granny Great! What an adventurous trooper she is! xx And the baked goods look amazing also.
