Fiji Day is a celebration of their independence from Britain in 1970.

One of the churches set up stands along the waterpark and spent the day competing in all kinds of fun games.

| Doug and his Yellow Teammates |
We could hear the music from our boat, so decided we had to check it out.
So happy that we did.
There were 4 teams competing and visitors were invited to select a team and join the competitions.
 |
| The Bun Race |
Doug decided to join the Yellow Team (Steeler colors). He had a great time – just glad he brought his black and yellow umbrella!
 |
| Ball passing - too funny |
Doug was selected to compete in the “Bun Race”.
What a hoot. Trying to eat a bun on a string that was constantly moving. He got 2nd place – pretty good!
I was selected for the water balloon toss, but I am not sharing those photos – hah!
 |
| Coconut Husking |
There were all kinds of competitions: coconut husking/grating, sack races, basket weaving, water balloon tossing, egg carrying race, plus lots of singing and dancing and so much laughter.
The Yellow Team invited us to share their lunch – it was amazing and so much food!
 |
| My favorite dancer |
As guests, we were served first. A big plate filled with taro, rice, chicken curry, grilled pork, and palusami's (onions, coconut milk, wrapped in taro leaves and baked). We were stuffed!
 |
| Dancing and singing - beautiful |
We aren’t sure which team won the competitions, but know that everyone had a great time, plus raised money for their church.
A very fun day. Enjoy the rest of the pictures!
