Hawaiian Luau!

We attended a traditional Hawaiian Luau and had a great time! We were greeted at the entrance with a lei made out of sea shells, and then we roamed around the area until the festivities began. We played the traditional Hawaiian game of spear throwing, I made a bracelet lei, and we took lots of pictures of the beautiful scenery and sunset.

We watched the "Shower of Flowers" where a man climbed up a coconut tree, in about 5 seconds flat, and sprinkled down flowers on us, and then participated in the "Hukilau on the Beach" and learned the net fishing techniques of old Hawaii. After that we moved over to the ampitheater area and watched the Royal Court Procession and ceremonial raising of the roasted pig.


We thoroughly enjoyed our buffet dinner of salad, pasta salad, pork, chicken, rice, vegetables, and yummy dessert. After dinner we watched a hula show. All in all we had a great time and are very glad we decided to attend the luau.
