Although we started the day in Huntsville, Texas, after arriving at the Wynne Home we were transported to tropical Hawaii in a matter of seconds. We grabbed a lei and prepared for a fun-filled event.
The occasion was the Wynne Home’s annual Hawaiian Luau and, as with all things Wynne Home, we try to be there to help.
We began by assisting with set up. This involved insuring that there were selfie-stations…
…food…
…craft table and side walk chalk….which soon filled up with children.
One of the favorite activities each year is the Limbo contest, and that proved true this year. And, as with previous years, we had to explain and re-explain the rules…
A hula hoop contest featured numerous talented people…
…and some LEAP Ambassadors.
The kids then teamed up and competed in a beach relay where they took turns scooping sand from one bucket and running and placing it into another. Running and dropping sand made the game fun for the kiddos who competed for tickets and toys.
These events provided children the opportunity to not only have fun, but win a lot of prizes in the contest. Following an enjoyable coda featuring Ballet Folklorico, the crowd wrapped up with some more food, a bit more hula hooping, and some final selfies.
It was such a fun day and we hope to see you at next year’s luau!
