Learning to dance the hula is as easy as 1-2-3. In Hawaii the hula is an integral part of the Hawaiian culture. It is beloved by all and studied in the most serious fashion by students in a hula halau (school). Marriott's Spirit of Aloha tour team, along with Houston's own KHOU news anchor Lucy Noland, visited the Children's Miracle Network children, families and staff at Texas Children's Hospital today. Here we are with adorable three-year-old Diamond Williams and eight-year-old Caleb Copeland.
