If you remember last week my daughter and I "flew" to Scotland. You can read all about it here. Well, my daughter liked it so much that she wanted us to fly somewhere else. So this week we are
going to Hawaii as a family.
Similar to our Scotland trip, I printed boarding passes for the flight and set up the living room like an airplane. We boarded the plane and watched video clips of hula dancing and listened to Hawaiian music. When our plane "landed" we put on our flower leis and headed off to "Honolulu" to go shopping, of course!
In case you've never been, there's a big outdoor market/swap meet held frequently near Honolulu city. In our town they were having an outdoor arts festival for local artists and craftsman to sell their merchandise, so that's where we went shopping. It was fun to have our own little "outdoor market and swap meet" nearby. Be sure to check out any upcoming arts festivals in your community, they are so much fun!
We enjoyed our shopping trip and made some fun purchases. We relaxed and watched the music performances. When it was time for dinner, we headed back home for a Hawaiian meal of Teriyaki chicken, Kailua pig, macaroni salad, and sticky rice with soy sauce. We also made tropical smoothies with fresh mango's, banana's, pineapple, and nectarines.
While we ate dinner we enjoyed watching Lilo and Stitch together. What a wonderful day we had in Hawaii!
If you want to take your own "trip to Hawaii" but don't want to go shopping, another fun alternative would be to set a swimming pool or sprinklers in your own backyard!
