We visited the Polynesian Cultural Center a couple weeks ago--W-O-W. So much to see and do! In this first picture, we're seated for a float show.
I'll tell you what--those ladies from Tahiti seriously know how to hula!
Ice cream anyone? You better believe we got some!
My kids took one look at this tiki thingy and all they could say was "Dumb dumb, give me gum gum!"
A small version of a hut type thing that people used to live in...see the next picture for an explanation...
We took a float trip ride that gave us a tour of the entire park.
The girls got to experience fishing--just like what the men do (in some of the places we learned about, it's the MEN that do the cooking--strictly. I think I kinda like that.....). ;)
Tattoos were galore here.
Julia getting her own gecko tatoo.
Evelyn trying to make fire using a certain kind of wood.
Julia trying her hand out on it too. We did see some smoke coming up...
The kids had an instructor that taught them how to do a simple dance that involves coconuts. After learning some moves, they were put up on the stage to perform for their families. Soooooo cute!
We found a small place where young teenagers were practicing the fire and spear dance. These guys are INSANE!
Ummmm, yeah, he actually put that THING on his TONGUE.
And here they come! Fiji, Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti, ect. It really was something awesome to see.

Yeah, heaven baby! Ry got a pina colada drink, a mango, and a strawberry one for all of us to share. Yummo!
The kids had no problem sharing. :)
