May Day

It is a tradition in Hawaii, that in May, the school children here put on a show of cultural performances. Usually, they are centered around the Polynesian Islands. Sometimes they will venture out and do other cultures outside the Pacific Rim. Today was Kahuku Elementary's May Day Program. The children have been practicing hard at school and at home. Randy and I were excited to see their performances. This was also the first performance that we attended where all the children were involved. It was so fun to watch the program without having to chase down a little one. But I digress. Here are the pictures from our fun day.


Leigh's grade did Hawaiian. The whole 6th grade was the Royal Hawaiian Court. Leigh was a Royal Lei Bearer. See the two girls who are standing together in blue, Leigh is on the right.

Leigh is on the left of this picture in the back in dark blue. She is the one on the right again. The girls performed a couple of hula's. They did a great job!

Some more of the 6th grade girls. The boys did a performance as well.

Micah's grade did Maori. Those kindergartners did an awesome job with their haka and their poi balls. I'm going to have to find some footage and put it up later.


Tyler's grade did Fiji. He loved every minute of dancing. He really got into it.

Kara's grade did a "Local Boys and Girls" theme. The choreography was really GOOD! I was so impressed because it was a really good performance. We found out that Kara can DANCE!


All the kids after the program was done. Time for lunch!

We went to Papa Ole's and grabbed some plate lunches and then headed down to the nearest Beach Park "Kekela". The boys climbing trees while the rest of us finish eating.

We went for a walk on the beach afterwards.

They look like turtles digging holes for themselves. It was such a fun day. I can't wait for next years May Day!
