Reception Time

After the wedding at the beach we headed over to the reception. If anyone knows my dad he loves to sing and play his ukalele. So for the reception he sang to his new wife.

Geri wanted to do something special for her new husband so she choreographed a hula and danced it for my dad.

I love flowers and decorations so I had to post some pictures of those from the reception.

My beautiful friend, Lisa, her husband JJ and their son Kai. I just had to post this because she is such a wonderful friend of mine and the family.

Here Kai is with his friend Kalin. It's funny because when Lisa and Kai were staying at my house for my baby shower, Kai just wanted to play with Kalin but she didn't want to play with him because was just too rough with everything. But Kai remembered her and wanted to hang out with her again. Funny kids.

Here we are singing Kanakawaiwai.

It's a song my father taught us while growing up and we sing it all the time. We aren't the best performers but we do our best.

Dad again playing his uke while we sing.

Beautiful Temple performing the hula to this song.

We go from peaceful, beautiful performances to the scary, war chant. One extreme to the next. That's how we roll.

Darren with his Haka face. Yeah, I'd be scared too!

Les & Curtis as well. Not sure I'd want to meet these guys in a dark alley. Just kidding, I'm not scurred.

Here is some video of our crazy family. I think the guys will be happy this is probably the last time they'll have to perform this for a family wedding.

Dad & Geri . . . the first dance.

Last but not least, the fire dance performed by my brother, Jai.

After all the festivities we just had to get a picture of the siblings and their spouses. I think this is the first time the nine of us have all been together with our spouses. Good times!
