In Hawaii, they celebrate Lei Day on May 1st. In recognition, ladies are supposed to wear a mu'umu'u. It borders on acceptable, but I think you can also get away with wearing a Hawaiian print dress. Liking neither of these options, I chose to bead a hibuscus cuff bracelet. It's shown on the left. I didn't get too far, but will finish it soon. ;)In the Commissary the other day, there was a woman wearing a mu'umu'u. Robbie spots her and calls out, "Ghost train!" after something he's watched over and over in one of his favorite DVDs. A train in GeoTrax land ("It's Trax-tastic!") is trying to scare other trains by pulling a large sheet over itself and sounding spooky horns while cruising through tunnels, aka the "ghost train." I laughed when Robbie spotted the dress as it did kind of look like the fabric the Ghost Train drapes on itself. Luckily the woman had no idea!
It's also a day where local musicians hold annual concerts. There are also lei making contests and other fun stuff. Most of it is around Waikiki, so we won't be joining in on that either. But Happy Lei Day anyway!
