I previously mentioned that I stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed my little “Staycation”.
On Sunday evening we tried out the “Legends of the Pacific Luau” at the Kamehameha Court.
The event starts with a photo opportunity where they “lei” you and take a picture of you.

We then got into the court where the luau was taking place and we got their just in time to see the pig getting chopped up after coming out of the imu.

I begun taking pictures of the food before it started getting devoured!

As the emcee warmed up the crowd with some basic hula lessons…
Learning the "Hukilau"
We took the kids over to get Hawaiian Tattoo’s (made with permanent markers) :roll:
My nephew anxious for his tattoo
It wasn’t my idea and I don’t think my wife realized how long it would take to get them off… but so be it!
My son getting his tattoo
We ate our food and then the show began
The Wahine take the stage
I enjoyed the whole show… but of course the highlight for me and the kids was the fire dancer!
After the show… we took the kids to meet some of the dancers and my son headed straight for Poliahu (the Snow Goddess) as he learned that she was the snow goddess.
Hayden and Poliahu
Then the two boys jumped on stage to get a picture with the guy that performed the fire dance.

We really enjoyed the food and the presentation that the folks of Hilton Waikoloa Village and Tihati Productions put on for us and I highly recommend this luau.
