Whale Day!

Saturday was Whale Day on Maui! Kihei celebrated with a parade and a festival with music, food and vendors. It was too fun - my friend Jake has this horribly awesome chopped limo that everyone on the island knows. This thing carts around to all the special events on the island - you get special treatment wherever you go in that beast. It has also become the official vehicle of the Maui Roller Girls, the local roller derby team. Jace and Jason decked the limo out this year with a whale tail, fins, and headlight eyes. Too fun!

As a complete bonus, yesterday the whales were going absolutely nuts in my backyard ocean. I saw a mamma and baby whale come closer than I have ever seen them, and they spent 20 minutes frolicking right in front of us. The little baby whale kept breaching and flapping his fins on the water. It was so amazing!!!



Me with a whale day goat. So flipping cute - and SOFT. I'm getting a goat.
