Summer fun in February

On February 6 we had our Cub Scout Blue and Gold banquet. We had a Hawaiian luau and we as leaders had a lot of fun with it.
Kalyn and Jamie were in charge of decorations and they did well. What creative women. They turned the volleyball standards into palm trees with a little brown paper for a trunk and some green paper leaves.
I was in charge of entertainment. That was very easy as I called Raylene who happens to take her girls to Hula lessons every Saturday and she took over the program. It was awesome! She recruited a few more girls from the Hula School and they hula danced for us during dinner. Robyn said, "Mom, I can't even eat because I can't stop watching the beautiful dancing."
Dinner was easy - each of us leaders cooked a pork roast in the crock pot and brought a big pot of rice. We let the families of the cubs bring the salads and for dessert we had the cakes from the annual father-son cake decorating contest.
The dress was Hawaiian. Some dressed up more than others, but most had on at least a lei. Mom took care of me by mailing me her muumuu. Can't tell you how beautiful I looked with my round belly in a muumuu. :) Goodness! My girls wore bright pink and purple dresses and Colin wore a hot pink shirt with shorts. We went to Zurchers earlier that day and bought flower leis to wear. Randy didn't have time to dress Hawaiian but he did put on the very colorful lei that Robyn picked for him.
I think everyone should have a luau in February. Fun stuff.
