While warming up on the driving range we heard a laughing sound. I originally thought it was a couple of old ladies on the hole nearby cackling. I just thought "hey they are having a good time!". But we soon discovered it was actually a bird. They are called Erkle Francolin. It was pretty comical because they sounded exactly like a real human laughing hysterically. We also saw lots of other random animals on the golf course, several species of birds, goats, and turkeys.
Neither of us played that great, but Dallas mentioned to me on Kauai that I wasn't swinging very strongly, so I changed my swing a little bit. Once I did that I was hitting the ball amazing, so I hope I can keep it up back home!
After golf we got ready for the Royal Kona Luau (at our hotel). We went to a luau on our honeymoon in Maui but Dallas wanted to go to a traditional Polynesian luau. I personally liked the one in Maui better; the food and the entertainment. But this was my first time seeing a fire dancer. It was pretty cool to watch the guy dance and spin the fire around.

This turkey was putting on a show for all the ladies.
This is the Erkle Francolin bird that made the laughing noise.
