aloha!!

For a girl who is constantly aching for her next vacation...I sure got a mini fix this weekend without even leaving the state!! The Pure Aloha Hawaiian Festival was in town...and we (along with Cana, Jordan, Stephanie, and Jansen-who made a surprise visit from CA ) decided to go! It was basically everything Hawaii...here in Vegas. (Minus the scenery. and beach. and ocean. and marine life. etc.. etc.. etc.. but let's not get too nit-picky here...we deal with what we got) It seriously was so much fun!!! If I don't think about how much money I actually spent. haha. It was only $5 to get in, and Matix was free. But this "free" little child of mine....was not exactly "free."  He's just so dang sweet. And he was in little kid heaven.... Eating all things Hawaiian. And riding all the fun carnival rides. He even got down to some island music with us. If you think about it...it's way cheaper than actually bringing him to Hawaii...so it's win-win if ya ask me. (although I really do wanna take him to Hawaii...someday) 

The food was my favorite part of course. We ate BBQ chicken and pork skewers. Some other chicken thing. Hot dog waffles (weird but yum). Hawaiian Shaved ice. Coconut milk. etc. Freaking bomb diggity, ya know?

Matix was brave enough to go on the "really really really big ferris wheel." And we all owned that little roller coaster. Hands up and all. The attendant liked us a lot, and let us ride it a few too many times. But how can you say no to a darling little boy who so innocently walked up to him and asked to ride again? The answer is...you can't. So we rode again. All three of us. :)

Anyways, it was a great night with family. 

And now I'm ready for my next vacay :)
