On June 15th we went to the Kamehemeha Parade. The queens and princesses of the different islands:
And the Pa’u queen
Kauai is purple with Mokihana leis:
Niihau white, Kahelelani or momi (shell) leis
Oahu golden-yellow with Ilima leis
I think that’s Molokai, which is green and should have Kukui leis
Well that’s Leilani who wears her sunglasses however she wants. Deal with it :-)
And Maui in pink with the rose (lokelani) lei
Lanai orange with Kauna`oa or dodder leis
And while I think the hula girls are adorable I have a lot of trouble with the amount of Makeup they are wearing…
Probably Kahoolawe – should be grey with Hinahina or Native Heliotrope flower leis
Big Island – red with Ohia Lehua leis
King Kamehameha and his staff
Hula for the king
Queens and minions waiting to give presents and tributes
Leilani and Julia (in the way of the queens and minions)
Best hairstyle award goes to Maui
But I also like Kahoolawe a lot
Angel dancing in her halau
The king leaving
Horses were parked on their trailers in the heat while the rest of us celebrated
And Mikey, and that photo of course has nothing to do with the post, but shows our freshly done front yard and that Mikey is still cute
