Let me introduce you to the Colburn family. What a great family! They are the example of the Aloha Spirit! They have really made us feel like Ohana here in Kauai. All of the families in our Hanalei Branch are just awesome. We are so happy to be able to get to know the members here.
In Hawaii, the kids call everyone Auntie and Uncle. I love how everyone is family. Ethan's primary teacher is Auntie Diana. My visiting teaching partner is 85 and everyone calls her Grandma Koga. Oh, how I love her. She is a sharp little Japanese lady. She brings tootsie roll pops every Sunday for the kids. And she still works in the taro fields with her son. She truly is an amazing woman.
But back to my original thoughts...The Colburns perform Luau shows as a family. Uncle Coppin sings and plays the guitar, the girls dance (Hula and Tahitian) and Auntie Caradyn plays amazing drums! Oh, and Coppin also does The Fire Dance. They were performing at the Hanalei Colony Resort (the place we stayed on vacation 2 years ago). They invited us to come watch and what a great show it was!
This was pre show
The girls did such a great job. 
The girls came out in several different costumes. The Tahitian Dance costume was my favorite.
Here is Caradyn playing the drums.
The girls chose people from the audience to learn the Tahitian dance techniques...Here's Erick moving his hips in a figure 8. hehehe. He wasn't as graceful as the girls, but he did great.
Coppin's Fire Dance was amazing!
Watching their show was a great way to end our day!
Aloha!
