HULA LESSONS

Besides enjoying feast, we also got a lesson in doing the hula and the meanning of several hula movements. While Mimi learned how to do a Tahitian dance, papa learned how to do the Hu-ki- lau ( not sure of the spelling).

ZGF'S HAWAIIAN LUAU


Xaunder's birthday party was not quite over when we had to leave and go over to the University of Washington Arboretum for papa's office party. As you can see it was Hawaiian themed with all of the trimmings of Hawaiian food such as spam musubi, dried mango fruit and pudding, mango cupcakes, chow mein and mama's favorite kalbi shorts (yum yum) white rice, fried rice, macaroni salad along with the green salad, tonkatsu, fish. They also had the usual sodas along with the Hawaiian sodas. We no sooner left the birthday party when it started to rain and it rained all during the luau too. Still raining at this hour.

XAUNDER'S BIRTHDAY PARTY


Yesterday was Owen's birthday and today is Xaunder turn to have a birthday party in the park. No bouncy house today but there was still plenty of food and fun for the little tykes. Of course we could not leave until Mimi had a whack at the pinata and of course Ziggy the dog had to get into the act of helping to open up the presents.
