Straight from work at night, mom, Chesca and I drove to CJ Resort. This was where we had our Stake Relief Society "Mother's Day" Aloha party. There were 7 wards in Montalban Stake. Our attendance roughly was less than 100. Almost everyone were dressed in Hawaiian outfit. How refreshing to see a lot of flowers on cloth. Plus some even wore grass skirts and had leis on their head and necks.

We had fun with our Luau-themed party from 8 am to 5 pm. The program and games like coconut relay, pineapple peeling and others were well-executed. I love the aloha dance tutorial. Although it was really hot, we all enjoyed especially the kids and mommies who swam or just dipped-in the pool. Mom and Chesca swam too. I didn't because I lacked sleep.

Eastwood ward sisters prepared plenty of food. Now that's a party, right?! We brought our respective utensils for eating. There were some flies but manageable. If you wanted soda like we did, you can buy one from the store affront.
The last part of the program was just videoke singing. While others just killed time by swimming. The three of us left around 4 pm.
