Dancers and the Luau!!
Monday night we happened upon a performance going on at this shopping area, so we stopped to watch and the girls LOVED it!! This is what we saw:
And this is what Whitney started doing:Kicking with the music (and drums!) and kind of screeching! I think she was a little afraid and REALLY excited! So fun. Then Katelyn started doing this:
Later she really got into it with her arms, but she couldn't move both her arms and legs at the same time and she almost fell a couple of times, it was SO so cute and funny. The best was how hard she was concentrating, she looked all serious, Eric and I were just dying. And Kurtis, Elizabeth, Mary and Brad, we were all just staring at her.
So then the next night we went to a luau!
It was sweet we got leis and everything. It was one of my favorite things about the trip, well obviously it's making the list. :) But the food was incredible and exotic (taro rolls, mmm...), they were nice enough to give Kate mac'n'cheese, and the dancers were amazing. Kate and Whitney totally loved it. I loved the variety of dances from different island nations, so cool. This one's Tahiti, I think?
The Haka, love it.
don't remember.
Here's Katelyn mesmerized, and my finger in front of the flash.
Whitney eating my lei, of course. I took it off, don't worry.
Towards the end they had couples who were there for their anniversary (there were several) get up and dance to some "marriage song" and Katelyn really wanted to dance too! So of course Eric loves her and they got up and danced. 
I love this one, I did not know it was being taken, but it's just us playing with our girls that we love so much. :)
Afterwards Katelyn couldn't stop talking about the guys who were "flinging fire" and "eating fire" (they had these incredible fire dancers!) and she wanted us to have luaus in our hotel room, where we all had to "move our hips really fast" and "dance like those girls". So fun. Now she's having luaus with her cars and fire trucks. Yay for new learning experiences. :) Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa for the Luau! And the whole trip!
