Luau --- Arizona Style

Our ward had a luau, combined with another ward in our stake. It was fun. We had the shredded pork that was baked in an 'umu. There was chicken, lomi lomi without the salmon, fried rice, fruit, veggies, and even POI! They were serving them in these tiny cups, which was not enough for Randy. Randy went back up to the food table with a bowl and had them give him a good serving of poi (we didn't feel bad because no one was really eating it). Afterwards, we had the polynesian entertainment, which inlcuded Leigh and I dancing. We just did one number. It was fun. Leigh did very well, especially considering she learned the dance in a week and a half. They had a Tongan family that did a whole Polynesian show. It was fun to see the familiar polynesian faces. I even met up with an old ward member from Tonga. Napua 'Alatini. She and I were Merrie Miss girls together (lol. Wow, I'm dating myself now), and my mom was our teacher. I didn't realize she was even living in Surprise. Her kids, along with her nieces and nephews danced in that Polynesian Show. All the ward members had fun watching and participating. It's getting us more and more excited to go back to Hawaii. We can't wait! The video is of Leigh and I dancing. Check back later, we'll try and redo the video that had other dancing that involved other members of ward. Oh, and yes, I am aware now that I was not really smiling during my performance. I know, I do it all the time. I always think I'm smiling until I see a video of it. One day I'll remember, either that or someone's got to yell it at me while I'm dancing.
