Hawaii 2026 - Maui Memories

Grayson had talked about taking the whole family to Hawaii (he'd been a couple times with Kolby and Jami, Keaton attending one of those trips). He got lots of advice and recommendations from family/friends and decided on Maui, June 2026. Below you'll find a video recap/one second style, and a bullet point of memories ...
