Hawaii Trip 2011 - The Luau

This Summer we went to Hawaii. This was our biggest trip we have ever done with all the kids. In the past we have always just taken shorter vacations because it's hard to travel with little kids. But we decided that our kids are finally old enough that we wanted to start taking them on bigger trips. So for our first of many adventures we went to Muai for a week. One of our first nights there we went to a Luau. This was our first time ever going to a Luau so we didn't know what to expect. When we first arrived we were greeted with a shell lay. Then we were escorted to our table. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive they had music playing and they served us hawain fruit drinks. The Luau was right by the beach so there was a great view. The weather when we arrived was beautiful but later in the evening it rained a lot. I'm glad we got some good pictures before it rained. Once everyone arrived they greeted us and started the night with teaching the Hula. The girls got up on stage and had a lot of fun. Next they did the big production of showing the pig. The kids thought it was neat and was excited to try it. They had 2 big buffet lines. The food was pretty good. They had Kuala Pork, Chicken, beef, rice, fish, salad, fruit and desserts. They also had a small children's buffet with mac & cheese, chicken nuggets, french fries and pudding. After dinner they had a pretty good show. Here are some fun pictures of our first Luau.

All over the island they had these pretty flower trees, the girls and I loved to put them in our hair.

Beautiful rainbow when first arrived. Ethan was fascinated by the rainbow. So cute!

Took some good pictures before the rain.

They gave us ponchos right before it started raining. Thank goodness!
