Lis' B-day / Polynesian Cultural Center



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAREST SWEET LIS!
13 YEARS OLD 7/8/11


Celebrating Lis' Birthday Cake on our back deck of the Beach house.
A day to remember.

Family singing to Lis, Hardy style!



As chosen by Lis, we spent the day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, for the kids 1st time!

Celebration Dinner at the Gateway Buffet. WOW...delicious!

The workers at the Gateway Buffet sang to Lis in Mauri, then gave her a real lei to wear. It was very memorable!



Our palm tree climbers
Our kids have all grown up climbing trees in "Narnia", now they are going native!



"Fishing" in the Tahitian village. Notice how Christan is 'dry' and happy in this picture?

Christian (our 2 yr old) stood up on the bottom rail here, leaned closer to see the fish, and flipped over the rail head first!! He sank like a rock to the bottom of the pond!! Immediately our Jacob (10 yrs) and this worker here lept over the railing and pulled him out!

No longer dry yet our 2 boys were o.k. Christian couldn't take his eyes off this lovely, brave rescuer. This was very scary, yet we felt so grateful for the brave and quick thinking of these 2 rescuers who witnessed the quick encounter and jumped to his rescue, fully clothed. Thank you Jacob!




Learning to weave palm tree leaves into 'fish'. So cool!

ALOHA MISS MADELYN!!
Madelyn may pass off to look like the next Tahitian dancer

Driving home, Katelyn was totally wiped out, after a fabulous experience at our 1st day at the Polynesian Cultural Center!
