Polynesian Cultural Center

 While the Page family was visiting, we spent a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center - learning about the history of Pacific Islands

 Lauren and Matt and another beautiful Hawaiian waterfall

 Arent we so cute?

 I love pretty flowers and plants, and after 4 years I'm still not immune to their beauty

 the next few pictures are from a Canoe Pageant we got to watch, with representatives from each island in one canoe doing their native dances

 Josh and his duckface....

 the guys all participated in a spear throwing competition

 In the village of Samoa, Lauren got a Samoan temporary tattoo

 Calen and Braiden

 who wore it better? Josh?

 or Laura?

 a few guys demonstrating climbing for coconuts

 flexing while climbing...this show was hilarious!

 Caleb attempting to make fire

 one by one, all of the men folk had to try it

 we got to eat a traditional luau dinner

 brothers :)

 ha ha Caleb goofing around

 brothers :)

 mmmm. delicious pineapple drink with rum.

 the pig is buried under the taro leaves

 the during dinner show.

we had a great time, and i would absolutely recommend anyone who comes to hawaii spend the day out at PCC and go to all of the different villages and learn about all of the Islands. Learning can be fun!

Diamondhead and Hanauma Bay

 Lexi got a ride from Daddy for part of the hike up

 Kylee braved the dark tunnels by herself

 On top of the lookout

 Lexi had lots of fun :)

 The Engstrom family with Waikiki and Honolulu in the background

 climbing to the top

 another view from the lookout

 Caleb and Braiden were way ahead of us on the hike, so they took time to climb trees (and they have lots more energy then the rest of us)

We also went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay

And back to a sign on the hike at Diamondhead....my pictures are out of order
