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

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!
