Island Day and a tiny hulu dancer

Last year, Brenda and her mom volunteered to cook a big Cinco de Mayo feast for CE2. It was wonderful to taste authentic food and experience a different culture. This year, Joan (Filipino) and Justin's (Hawaiian) families cooked up an amazing Island feast.

Joan explained the Filipino side of the buffet table:
And then we dug in:
Oh, my! (Those are crab puffs!!!!)
As if that wasn't enough.... Justin's family was in town from Hawaii, including his cousin -- a hula dancer. We didn't know it, but she was about to put on a show:
Her young daughter was there, too. This was, hands down, the cutest thing EVER!
We had a wonderful afternoon of feasting and enjoying our CE2 family. We came away stuffed and entertained and with a new appreciation for our Islander friends and their culture. Thanks to everyone who work so hard to provide our meal!
