Aloha (Goodbye) to Barbara with a Luau


We say goodbye to my mother with a Luau!   The Hale Koa - House of the Warrior - hosts a luau on Waikiki Beach for military families.     

The Samoans help guests make leis  .... 
  
... and play island games.

The band plays Hawaiian music until ....

... the MC demonstrates Pacific crafts.
He made a basket from a palm frond
and called it his school backpack.
   
He climbs up the tree, 

poses, 


and climbs down with ease.

The sun sets over Waikiki Beach.

David, Cameron, and Barbara at our table.

Group Hula Lessons!

Tahitian style hula.

Mahalo,

Kim in Hawaii 


One last hug from the luau!
