Harvest Time

While staying in Hawaii, we knew we wanted to go to a luau to see some of the local customs and try some of the local food.  We also knew the kids would have a blast!  And what better way to celebrate Mabon, harvest time (autumn equinox), then at a luau under the Harvest Full Moon.  


The girls were so excited to walk up to luau and get a seashell lei.  Here is Joss getting her Lei.


And Autumn getting her Lei.


First order of business.. drinks!  Parents got free Mai Tais and kids got all the juice they could drink.  Here they are getting their "sugar" on.


Here is Autumn sneaking another cup of juice, after being cut off!  LOL!  She must have drank about 10 cups of juice!  Notice her stained lips.


Josslyn joining right in with the Hula Girls.  Joss was in her glory!


And there is Auty following big sis.


Dinner time!!!



Dinner cooking in the ground. (pork)


Locals taking dinner out of the oven!!


And here he is!!  Joss and Auty were practically drooling.  While getting dinner at the buffet table, Josslyn said out loud, "I am a carnivore!"  People died laughing, especially after seeing her plate piled high with steak and pork.  lol


During dinner, the dancing began.  It was a phenomenal show!  From the hula dancers, moving with such elegance to the thrilling fire dance.  What a fun night!  


Joss danced right along with them the whole night!  She was entranced by them!


Joss was soo excited to meet the hula girl.... the highlight of her night!


And the perfect end to our first luau.
