Aloha Santa

On Saturday we went to our first (of many) holiday parades. It was a really small parade that just circled around the mall.  I think it was their way of bringing Santa (and shoppers!) to the mall for the holiday season.

The parade consisted of a high school marching band-which actually played Mele Kalikimaka, a few classic cars, and a couple of groups, including our friend's daughter's choir group (which is the main reason we were there :) Aside from these "floats", the rest of the parade consisted of a bunch of "local" trucks i.e. pickups that have been given ridiculous lifts and sometimes flashy tires.  Seriously, the entire second half of the parade was a bunch of guys driving in their jacked up pickup trucks...oh Kauai.  Luckily, they still ended the parade with Santa, the Hawaiian edition, and the boys got lots of candy!

Our friend Olivia is the second from the left.  Apparently, Ely embarrassed her when he yelled out, "I know her!" in front of all her friends...hahaha

Noah really wanted to march in the parade

Noah is still marching around in his own parade :-)
