Polynesian Cultural Center




The day we went to the PCC was our most fun overall day in Hawaii! Owned and operated by the church, kids going to BYU Hawaii work at the center to teach others about their cultures and traditions and in turn get help on their tuition. There are 6 or 7 different villages (all the polynesian islands) that you can go around to and learn about their way of life. They have activites and shows, dances and demonstrations. You learn so much and its so neat!!
At the end of the night we got to go to a Luau where we got to eat food that the native people eat and received fresh flower leis!

Our 'Samoan Warrior' friend. He was awesome! He was so funny and at the show that night he danced with fire! What an awesome day!!

Oh my goodness, all these pictures make me homesick for Hawaii!!! I'm glad that Justin got up at the Tongan Village. I love that show, it is so funny!
The guy you posed with at the Samoan village, Cap, we know him well. I used to teach swimming lessons to his boys.
We were married in the Laie Temple! Awwww......I miss, miss, miss Hawaii!!!
