RS Luau

For our RS activity in June we did a Luau.  It was very interesting!  We planned on having it outside this year in my backyard.  We figured if we planned it at the end of June that the weather might cooperate.  Last year it was a down pour on the day we did it but, luckily the activity was a service project inside the church.  

SO.......my wonderful activity leader Kelli, her husband, 3 boys & I were setting up for the party.  OH.......i have to tell you, on this day in the morning it was windy all day.  I kept hoping it would be nice.  Right before we were going to set up it started to get nice but there were a few mean clouds in the sky.  

We contemplated for a minute & decided to still set up in my yard.  As we are setting up the wind was kicked up again & the mean clouds got bigger & bigger......the wind was getting harsh. 

An hour before it was going to start ........we decided to head back to the church and set up!! AHHHH

We took down everything & threw it in the cars & went to set up.  

I must say it was a lot faster setting up without the wind interfering.  

Well........we got it done right on time & it looked great & turned out great.  

But as it goes...right as we were done setting up in the church................. how was the weather outside you might ask?? 

Wonderful, calm, peaceful........i think that was a test of faith & obviously we have none & failed horribly.  

A BIG THANKS to the Matua men!! 

We couldn't have done it with out you.  They set up all the tables & chairs & shade things.  Then they had to take them all down & bring them back to the church. 

We had dinner & then some awesome entertainment.  

We had dancer do Hawaiian, Tahitian & Samoan dancing.  It was SO good.  They were great.  

Then they taught us all some moves......hips moves! There is the bishop doing his moves.

I took this picture of one of the girl's boys....max....very cute.  

He kept getting a drink of water every 2 seconds.  

We also had a coloring contest & this was the winner! 

They we all very creative but this one was pretty cute.  

Thanks for the fun night girls & THANKS to Kelli  & your family for all your work.
