We survived the Aloha Festival (part 1)

The day was the most beautiful that anyone could ever ask for. I got to bed late(!!!) and woke before dawn to get everyone there by 8:00 a.m. We had ALOT of stuff to carry with five of us dancing and needing costumes (but not as much as Amy ;) ). Luckily we got there so early that we got one of the closest parking spots that anyone could get. It was so fun and I'm kind of sad that it's all over with.

Opening Ceremonies (Hallie and Hannah in their Maori costumes)

Hannah and her uli ulis (those things are expensive!)

Hallie and her uli ulis (I mean really expensive, and we bought the super cheap ones!)

(in a sing-song voice) "Here come the boys from Lapahoehoe.

Broad and husky they bring us joy."

I don't think Curtis has ever been described as broad and husky in his whole life!

He almost threw out his back doing this move!

We have gobs more pics but my camera battery died before I could upload them, so it will have to wait for another day.
