Hawaii, Part II

Here's the next batch of photos from our Hawaii trip!

Some cute little dancers!
LDS Philanthropies with the PCC and BYUH helped reenact the Hukilau, a time-honored tradition in Laie.  Here are some shots from a blustery, rainy night on the Hukilau Beach!











Here we were participating in a special prayer and ceremony before throwing the large nets into the ocean.










Pretty remarkable the spirit and camraderie that was present on that beach.  Locals, employees, friends, etc. all getting in the water and pulling the nets in.  It was rough weather, but we caught some fish and an octopus!









Here was our dinner, a pig, being uncovered from the umu. Amazing!











And finally, for today, here was the scene from that evening's special luau.  Love the music, the dances, the spirit of these performers and PCC students.  Aloha!
