Today was the dedication of the bike path that has been built between Kahuku and Laie, and it was a PARTY. If you have had any experience with Hawaiians this is what they know how to P-A-R-T-Y!!! Well we walk up and of course we are not only greeted by the delicious smells of BBQ but see 4 pigs roasting on a spit. Yup. it was a great greeting.
And then we all got to go and watch and listen to the program and culturally uplifting event. My hopes of going to this is the enticings of a winning a free bike. But we left when they started eating because there was a huge line and were not present for the drawing for the 15 bikes they had to give away because we had a ward BBQ to get to. It was great to see the integration of culture into the simple dedication of a mile and a half bike path.

enjoy the little taste of the culture in the video of the Keiki ("children" in Hawaiian) and the others involved in the ceremony.
Thanks for sharing! Looks like a fun day!
