Aloha from Maui Day 7 - Maui Ocean Center and beach time

Our last full day in Maui. We had a change of plans after Michael hurt his shoulder. We had planned this morning surf lessons but we had to trade them in for something comparable in price and so we went to the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium instead.
We saw sharks. Better in here than while we were snorkeling.
Michael is holding a different kind of star fish. It looks like a star when it's young but it grows up to look like a fluffy pillow thing. This is the bottom of the star fish.
A sting ray swimming right over us.
Larry taking in the sites of the fishes and things inside the tunnel.
I thought it was a cool picture with his reflection looking at the fishes too.
The last day here we just had to spend it at the beach. We rented a couple of boogie boards and off we went to the beach in front of the resort. The waves were smaller there today.  Michael is teaching Emily how to boogie board. She was a quick learner.
Larry and Michael riding up to shore giving the hang loose sign which is common here.
Michael, Emily and Larry coming in on a wave, 2 with boards and 1 without.
The sun was setting on our last evening there and we all wanted to get the last bit of the warmth of the sun before we went in for the night.





Emily and Michael watching the sun being put out by the ocean.
The week went fast and it's time to go home. Home is good too. Home is where your heart is.

I'm already looking forward to the next vacation. Hmm where should we go?
