For Robyn's Bachelorette, we decided to get all the ladies together and spend an entire day doing girly things. We started the morning at the Heavenly Spa at the Westin. We had Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massages and Pohaku manicures and pedicures. It was absolutely wonderful! Plus, we got to use their jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. Here are Robyn, Sandra, and Amber in the sauna:

After getting dressed up for a night on the town, we gathered the ladies in my hotel room to plot a surprise for Robyn. Everyone got "leid", placed a pair of panties in a bag, and we walked over to Robyn's room to pick her up. For our first game of the evening, we had her pull the panties out of the bag one at a time and try to guess who brought which pair. It was much harder for her than we thought it would be, although, to be fair, there were 17 of us there, with a couple extra panties from guests who couldn't make it to the party! I think Robyn got 4 correct, including the pairs from her mom and sister!
The next game was a Hawaiian-themed Digital Scavenger Hunt. We broke the bachelorette guests into 2 teams based on the color lei they picked at the beginning of the night, then asked them to take 25 pictures of specific tasks... anything from taking shots, to climbing a palm tree, to piling the group into a hammock, to hula dancing, to getting in the ocean... well, you get the idea! Everyone had cameras going, so I only have a couple pictures to show:
By the way, Team Purple won (by 4 points)!
After dinner, we played one more game: Gum Groom. Before the party, we asked Stephen 23 questions about himself (we had a hard time coming up with 25 questions we thought Robyn might not know the answers to... after 12 years together, they know each other pretty well!) Every time she got one wrong, she had to chew another piece of gum. We managed to trick her into getting 8 questions wrong, although she argued a few of them... We let her take it up with Stephen though, since we wanted to see a mouthful of gum! Here she is halfway through the game, right after we asked her a naughty question... apparently there were 2 correct answers, and she wasn't sure which one she should give away first!
After the game, half the group called it a night, and the rest of us migrated down to Lahaina to take Robyn dancing. Turns out Paradise Blue (the club we'd planned to go to) had recently closed down, but we found a cool bar called Moose's that combined dance club with sports bar with local hangout. After 2 rounds of Mai Tai's, we hit the dance floor! Here are Chelsea, Holly, and Rose making a toast to the bride (who is off camera to the left):

And finally, I had to throw in at least one shot of Robyn dancing!
