The other day was our son's birthday, and even though he wasn't here (the Commandant has seen fit to send him to Hawaii), 'Ohanas happens to be a particular favorite of the kid's, so we figured that was close enough.
In case you're unfamiliar with 'Ohanas, which means family, dinner is served 'family-style'. You sit and the food is brought to you by the servers, called "Cousins". And brought. As much as you want.
And there is entertainment: kids learn a hula song and engage in coconut races. Folks celebrating something special are called up. They all receive a lovely (not real) flower lei.
I happened to be wearing my most Hawaiian-looking blouse and having a good time, and surprise, I got a lei, too!
Alohaaaaa!!
