Hawaiian Luau

Okay folks, well the first thing I would like to report is that one of the items on the resolution list has been completed! No its not my course being done, its the Hawaiian Luau. For Trevor and Katy's b-day we had a little party over at our place. We had coconut, baby back ribs, ukelele, tiki torches, hot tubbing and music baby! The party went well into the night and into the next morning. The party was so crazy the cops came and had coffee for breakfast with us, okay just kidding, but it was wild no doubt.

Meridith really did her research on this one and prepared a huge spread of authentic dishes to the Hawaiian island. There was Luau chicken that had coconut milk and fried onions, chicken long rice, pineapple slow-glazed baby back ribs, and Maui grilled fish salad with a tropical ginger salsa. We also had some Blue Hawaiians, Mai Thais, and pina coladas.

The night was a fun send off for Katy, who is headed back to Vancouver to begin her paramedics course. She felt the bite of reality as she had to move to the city amidst all of the fun and activity of the kids just getting off of school and the nice weather coming in. Best of luck Katy, you will do great!

A strange face some might not recognize is Gemma Allen. She is snuck into John and Annemarie's luggage a few weeks ago, when they were departing from their visit to Calgary.

So anyway, as you can see in the pictures we had a great time. I wish all of you readers could have come too. It is sure fun just to do something different every once and a while. It may be a little bit of extra work to prepare, but in the process we learned about Hawaiian culture and a little more about each of us.
