Papa
wasn’t doing very in the morning so we found a chiropractor we hoped could
help. While he was at his appointment, Grammy kept baby Z and I took the
girls across the street to the beach. They played in the waves and built
a sand volcano. On my feet. It was so impressively large that I
couldn’t escape.
We went
to Moose McGullicuddy’s for lunch, mostly because of the name. Great
view, fun ambiance, good burgers. But mostly I love that the girls
giggled every time they tried to say the name.
And
then we went to a luau! I agonized over which one since there are so
many. In the end I’m sure any of them would have been great. We
chose the one at the Marriott since it was close and it was fantastic! We
had great seats and the girls loved getting virgin pina coladas. I loved
the flower leis we were given at arrival and we got to have flowers pinned in
our hair. (A and E both shrugged to a “single” but L shyly confessed
“taken”!) The girls made bookmarks, wandered the craft tables, watched
the coconut husking (done with great commentary and comedy) and got temporary
tattoos (L’s palm tree, A’s sea turtle, E’s was a flower). The food was
great and we stuffed ourselves. The show was SO good. It was
intimate and casual but not at all lacking in skill or professionalism.
Twice, the kids were invited onstage to learn the dances. Once was
a Hawaiian hula with gentle moves that told a story, the second was a Tahitian
dance with lots of hip shaking and giggling. The preformed dances were
incredible. The girls were graceful and beautiful, the host had such a soothing
and inviting voice, the guys were obviously having a great time and the
“sleeper” of the show was the fire knife dancer. He was incredible!
The kids were glued to him the whole time and in absolute awe.
