Polynesian Cultural Center {Hawaii:: Day 3}

After the temple open house we went to Giovanies for shrimp. It was mighty tasty, but Brennen isn't liking the after effects of the garlic!

We came home and took naps (this time change thing is hard to get use to!) before heading off to the Polynesian Cultural Center. We didn't end up getting there until 4:00pm so we only saw a few shows before going to the luau.

My friend Jess Wright lives in Laie and works at the PCC so we stopped in the gift shop to say hi to her! We went to the luau there before the night show, which we were greeted with a leis and enjoyed a true Hawaiian pig. Avalynn fell asleep before the show so we decided to just keep her and let her sleep instead of having her go play with Jess, which was the original plan. She was completly exhausted and slept through the entire show which at times was really loud. "Ha, Breath of Life" was the night show we went to and it was truely amazing! The message of the show was wonderful and the dancers are phenominal!

After the show we had an adventure waiting for the bus to take us home since Ann drove the van back with the Haynie kids. We thought we were going to have to wait about an hour, according to the schedule, but we were in luck when about 30 seconds later a bus pulled up! As soon as we got off at our stop it started pouring rain, so we were all soaked by the time we got to our house!
