Day 5 - Lovo dinner and Meke dancing

 We swam a little more in the afternoon and then the kids decided they wanted to go to Kid's Club and go shell collecting!  Grace had been waiting ALL WEEK for this!  She LOVES collecting shells!!  Josh and I took the Hobie sailboat out while the kids were doing that.  It was a beautiful and relaxing afternoon.  The kids had also collected hermit crabs and were excited to show us.

 Relaxing in the hammock with my kids before showering for dinner.

our beautiful view

 Showing off their hermit crabs - Lance was trying to blow on his so it would come out of its shell???

It was such a beautiful afternoon that I had to take pictures.

 The kids having their dinner with kids club before heading off to get ready for their Meke dancing performance for us!  Can't wait!!

 Enjoying a cocktail before heading to dinner.  Bula and Vinaka!!  (Hello and Thank You!)

 The sunset was AMAZING that evening!  It was seriously paradise!

 Ready for our Lovo dinner!!  Just one of the many items on the buffet - this whole fish was HUGE!

 More seafood

 My plate - I had pretty much one of everything.  I think they had just about every kind of meat you could think of!  Josh was in heaven!  So fun to eat after watching them prepare it that day.

 Traditional dinner, hence the traditional drink - Kava.  I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it tastes like muddy water - NOT my thing, but I can say I tried it! :)

 The most adorable thing EVER!  Grace even made her own grass skirt earlier that week!  They all came out and performed some traditional Meke dancing that they had been practicing that week.  It was so adorable - WE LOVED IT!

 The performance

 Then we got to see all the staff perform traditional Meke dancing.  Very cool!  It was a wonderful and fun day!
