Hailey had a presentation at school today for something they call "May Days". On the islands (I believe, Fiji, New Zealand, all the Hawaiian islands still take part in this) On May 1st the islands celebrate by opening their "doors" to allow guests and trading to start among the different islands. They celebrate with an all day feast, and a royal court dancing and performing. They have an 11 yr. old girl as the Royal Queen and she usually does a ceremonial dance of her own. Obviously it is past May 1st, and the island has been celebrating all month. Needless to say Hailey has been very excited, and her whole school did a performance for it..a representative from the senator's office and other political figures came and sat under a tent for "honored guests". Here are some photos and her video dancing..my favorite part is when David was video taping it and someone walked right in front of him! I was sad I couldn't be there, but luckily David stepped right up to go and watch her, (unfortunately the video wouldn't download, we tried=( .Here are a few captured moments....
