After the helicopter ride, we made our way to Poipu to get “Puka Dogs” (Hawaiian hot dogs). I don’t really care for hot dogs that aren't 100% fat free because it grosses me out thinking about what’s inside of them, but these were absolutely delicious! The hot dog is placed directly into a hole inside the bun. Of course, Erik and I being such picky eaters didn’t try the Hawaiian sauces, but the rest of the family raved about them.

While we waited for our Puka dogs, Liisa was busy trying to get a picture with a rooster, which she did, almost everyday during the vacation. The rooster had enough of Liisa chasing it and started to fly away, but was stopped when it collided with a nearby glass window. Poor thing…who knew roosters could fly that high anyway.
Later that night, it was time for the Smith family luau. Before the festivities started, we toured the Smith property, which had many types of trees, flowers, and birds. It was beautiful!
Between the Johansen’s not one, not two, but five cameras, it seemed like we posed by every tree and flower on the property. I even brought a miniature tripod so we could take a family portrait on the lawn. Let’s just say there were a lot of pictures to go through at the end.
After our family portrait session, we stuffed our mouths with delicious food and then relaxed while watching the dancers shake their booties.
What an eventful day!
