Maui Sporting Goods is holding their annual Fathers Day Spear Fishing Event at Baldwin Beach today. Last year’s event helped this family - check this article on Maui News. I think we are going at Baldwin Beach today after church to support some of our friends who are in the tournament. It’ a great event for a great cause. Maybe we’ll see you there!

Krispy Kreme on a Wednesday afternoon with Hapa Boy and Hapa Girl - it was a treat!
We were first introduced to Krispy Kreme when our family went to visit our friends Todd and Laura on Santa Barbara in California. That was in 2003. It was such a fun memory. The kids were very excited to watch how the donuts were made. And the most exciting part is that we were given fresh donuts - free!
Krispy Kreme Maui opened in January 2004. Oh the lines were looooong on their opening day. We waited for hours just to get the taste of the glazed donut we once tasted on their Santa Barbara branch!
This past week I read an article about Krispy Kreme not doing well on this hard economic time - in this recession. I wanted to do my part in helping them (in my own little way) so I brought the kids there for a summer fun treat. It was a fun trip. We stayed to watch the “donut making” after we’ve finished eating what we ordered.
One thing I noticed is that they have a lot of costumers with computers on the table, and it occured to me that they have FREE WiFi on this store! yey - you can buy a donut and a cup of coffee and do you work in the computer ot check your e-mail or tweets!
Now for a suggestion - I think it would be nice of they have a microwave oven in the store where we can heat up the glazed donut for 2 seconds to warm them up. You see, when we went there they were not in the process of making the round glazed donut so we had to eat the cold one - and the cold one is not as good as the warm glazed donut.
Going back to what I was saying that I am hoping to help promote Krsipy Kreme in my own little way, I will be tweeting about this post to encourage the Maui people to buy their donuts at Krsipy Kreme. Incidentally, it’s Friday, and Friday means it’s time for the ALOHA FRIDAY Carnival. Go to An Island Life for more info on how this works, but for you who already know, my question for today is:
What is your favorite donut kind? My favorite is the glazed one. My husband loves the old fashion.
If you do not like to eat donut, what alternative do you like to order in a donut shop? Coffee? Iced Drink? What’s your choice?

I started blogging as a Mommy Blogger before I got involved with sort of a Travel Blog. That’s why this A Maui Blog will never be like other tourism blogs or travel blogs. The mommy blogger in me would once in a while surface. Like today - I will be posting a photo of my son’s room - before and after clean-up. You see, even though we live in “paradise” we do have to go to work to earn a living (like me- the working mama) and we do have to do chores (like Hapa Boy gotta clean his room).
Here’s what Hapa Boy’s room was like when I arrived from work today. Oh yes, he loves playing with Legos. Legos are great a long as I don’t step on them at night. Have you ever stepped on a Lego piece? Quch it hurts! Anyway, here’s the messy room - the before photo:
Now, here’s the cleaned up shot. Nice and clean! Good job Hapa Boy!
Now that we have accomplished this (yes, I helped him clean) - I thought it would be nice to share this with the other moms who also have tackled something today. Let’s go to 5 Minutes For Moms and see what others had accomplished.

It’s Aloha Friday time and my question for today is “What is your favorite Ice Cream?” Share about the brand or the flavor.
My favorite is Lapperts Ice Cream here on Hawaii. Below are some photos I took the other day when I brought my kids to the Hawaiian Ice Cream Store (at Kamaole Shopping Center) for a treat:
