Polynesian Cultural Center

We spent a rainy Saturday at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We had so much fun. They have different villages set up to represent the different polynesian cultures and you can walk around and learn about them all. They have Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Aeotaro (New Zealand), Tahiti and Hawaii. We saw all the cultural dances and heard the singing. I love the dancing in Tahiti the best.

Here we are waiting for the canoe parade to start.


Here are the girls from Tahiti dancing.


Here we are on Easter Island.


We went to a luau that night and had lots of fun.



At the luau they pulled the kailua pig from the ground and showed us how it is cooked. They had hula dancers most of the time and also the Hawaiian royalty. After we left the luau we went and saw the night show called "Ha, Breath of Life." I loved it! It was awesome. It was a story of Mana, a boy who grew up in each of the cultures. They had a fire show that was really cool too. We had front row seats and Caleb did pretty well. He loved watching most of it and got pretty close to running out there. But I would definitely go back again and recommend the show to everyone.
