On our official anniversary (July 27) we decided to celebrate with a Luau! We went to a place called Paradise Cove. They had fun little "Authentic Hawaiian" games and other celebrations that led up to the actual luau.
Neal and I both played this game where you threw a spear into a hay bail target. And we both did not so bad!
Admiring the beautiful scenery
There was a Flower Shower - where one of the guys climbs to the top of the palm tree and drops flowers to everyone on the ground
Neal caught me one for my hair....awww!
The next event was the Hukilau. Our girls are obsessed with a Disney sing-a-long movie in which they sing "Going to a Hukilau" and so they were beyond excited that we actually did get to go to one! This is where they throw nets out into the sea to catch the fish for dinner (ok, well this one was just a demonstration, but still!)
They also did an authentic pig roast, so we got to watch them pull the pig out of the sand.
We enjoyed some fun drinks and dinner.
And I even participated in the Hula demonstration and earned my first Hula certificate.
And there was lots of beautiful Hula dancers. Such a fun night and neat way to celebrate our anniversary!
The next morning, we headed out to actual enjoy Waikiki beach - we had heard that it was very crowded, but even with lots of others sharing the area, we really enjoyed our last bit of time in Waikiki!
