Madd Max Has 11 and 10 Year-Old Stats

Madd:

Height: 61 3/4" - 92nd percentile 

Weight: 95.6 lbs - 69th percentile

Max:

Height: 54.5" - 47th percentile

Weight: 72lbs - 55th percentile

They have maintained these percentiles consistently throughout the years - it's kind of amazing.

Madd Max Dine Al Fresco

Nice.

Madd Max Have Margaritas

And toast Billy, Lilly's fracture blister.  It's a long story, that trust us, you don't want to hear.  Lilly commented that she saw him in the shape of the upturned glass.

Madd Max Have A Last Hawaii Day

Cards with Aiden and Tio Greg.

And a last dip in the pool

The Kender-Page crew had a day pass to the Hilton Waikoloa Village resort, where the kids spent about 6 hours straight in the pool.  This was the first place the fam stayed when they vacationed in Hawaii about 5 years back.

Sam preferred to read by the edge of the pool.

Sand mounds by the edge of the lagoon.

Thanks for a great time!

Madd Max Enjoy A Luau

Dinner - please note, Tio Greg and Max's expressions.

Cheers!

During the luau, the guests had a chance to learn some dancing techniques.  Clara was excited to join, so Dozee brought her to stage.  Tia Jess convinced Maddie to get up there as well.

Later, there was a group snorkleing with the manta rays, and you could clearly see them from shore.

Girls and plumerias.

Madd Max Head To Kahalu'u Again

But first a Dozee scavenger hunt for Max's birthday.

This time the Bloomfield Kenders joined the team, as did an aggressive fish which bit Ant Uncle, Aiden and Jess, and scared Maddie so much she refused to snorkel for the rest of the day.

Trying to catch fish.

Exploring the pools.

Sam and Jess remembered eating of the food truck at the beach that last time they had visited, and it being the best food they had the entire time in Kona (the bar was not high, as the hotel's food was terrible).  It seemed important to enjoy it again.

The kids requested a shaved ice, and chose the nauseating combo of banana, bubble gum and root beer.

That's what happens when it all melts together.

Then it was time for a little relaxing - some reading.

Some cards.

Madd Max Heads Out On The Fair Winds

Dozee prepping for motion sickness while the boat is still docked.

A very scared and sad Maddie who did not want to go that far off shore.

Dozee prepping for motion sickness, now on the water.

Post-snorkel, after getting over her terror (when Madd and Jess first entered the water at the Captain Cook monument, Jess looked at Maddie and gave her a thumbs up - Maddie responded with a very firm head shake, "NO"), Maddie loved the snorkeling, except when Jess tried to bring her to the edge of the snorkeling boundary.  Then Jess felt a very strong pull on her leg, and turned to see Maddie trying to swim her backwards.  Back on the boat, fresh pineapple was provided as a snack.

On the ride back, spinner dolphins jumped in the wake, and flying fish flew alongside the boat.

And to top off the day, 4th of July fireworks from the lanai.
