Serving others!

One lady that spoke today was from Hawaii! Her talk was great but one thing that really stuck out in my mind was a quote that she read, which was...

“The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.” ― Kalu Ndukwe Kalu.


So true, that is why serving others is so important!
That's it for tonight, short and sweet. Angie and I have been busy baking and doing all the other fun things that we do at Sleep Overs at Nana and Poppa's house!
Good night dear friends!

We went to a Luau !


Yesterday we went to a Luau. It was amazing, never been to one before. We first took a little shuttle to the area where the Luau was to begin. The weather, scenery and the animals were unbelievable.
 
 




Next they showed us how they cook the pig for the Luau. They start with the blowing of the shells to announce the beginning of the Luau. Next they told us about more of their traditions. Then they showed how they get the pigs out and how they prepare it for the feast. By the end of that, there was time for us to walk around the grounds and get some more photos. It seems like this place just keep getting more amazing by the day, take a look for yourself.
 






 



The dinner was great!  The entertainment was great too!


 
 I love the Hawaiian people, I think I should have come here years ago!!!
 
 
After dinner there was a show of all the different cultures, it was so fun to see their different customs, music and dancing. I would have taken photos of it but they asked us not to.

It was a late night, so this is why I am just now writing about it.  It was simply an amazing evening! I feel sooooooo grateful that we have had the opportunity to come here!
Good night dear friends!

Vacation!

We are celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary, here in Kauai. It is so beautiful that it is really hard to explain in words. As we sat on the beach today, I could only imagine being in a place like this. It rained today, it is different than the rain we get at home. It was cloudy, then poured, then the sun came out and then it rained again and then by 3:00 this afternoon...it was beautiful. I tried to take photos this morning when it was raining but it was too dark, but by tonight we all got dressed up to go to a really nice restaurant for dinner.

Our free appetizer, because our wait was so long. I have no idea what the name was, but it was delicious!
 Actually, everything was great and each piece looked like a work of art!
 
I never heard this saying before... "Once a year go someplace you've never been before", after experiencing Hawaii, maybe I should really try to follow this quotes advice! :) Good night dear friends!
