The Haunted Lagoon...

This year my family decided to celebrate Halloween early by going to the haunted lagoon. Yes it was extremely hot, and yes we waited in line for 2 and half hours but it was totally worth it. Workers kept asking us if we wanted to go the "Family" one (they noticed all our kids.....and babies), but we kept telling them no. Some of us were scared and others were just along for the ride.

Dezi totally freaked out the first time he saw this guy. Or should I say thing?

All the kids.

These two decided to sit in the back of the boat thinking that's where all the action would happen. Nope.....all the action happened in the front but they were still scared to death. During the whole canoe ride, my nephew Keoni (on the right), was burying his face in some ladies boob next to him with this "I want to get off this boat" look on his face. Then after the whole fact as we were all talking about it walking back to the car he says, "Ho mom, I wasn't scared but the lady next to me thought I was and she was like on top of me." It was something to that affect.

Before the ride. Dezi was totally terrified during the entire ride. He basically had his face buried in either my chest or grandmas chest or daddy's chest. Poor kid! What horrible parents huh?

They did an awesome job this year. I didn't go to last year's one but I kept hearing this year's one was better. I only hope they can top it every year cause we're doing it again.

Through the eyes of a toddler...

I tried taking pictures of Dezi one day and he totally minded so he took matters in to his own hands and this is what became of it...

His blurry finger and the bed...

the window...

One of his books and part of his foot...

And the love of his life....MOMMY!

Oh Dezi...

P.C.C. day...

So a long while back my brother and his son came down for a nice long visit from Texas. While they were here we thought it would be nice if the whole family went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, since they redid the night show. It was the best day I think we all had in a while. The kids were amazed at all the things they saw, heard and experienced and thoroughly enjoyed themselves and so did the adults. Here's a quick re-cap...

First everyone met at Papa's office at BYUH around lunch time. Above is one of the views from his office. You can see the cannon center from his window, and below is a picture of papa....and Dezi.....working hard. Or hardly working.

We ate lunch at the Seasider then headed on over to the Poly Center.

We watched the canoe show....

This is Fiji. I thought it was a cool motion pic. The kiddies REALLY enjoyed watching all the dancers on boats.

Went to a few villages....

My sister U'i volunteering to show her mad Tahitian skills. Uh, hello. Isn't it supposed to be for the tourists? LOL!!

We got some tattoo's....

Dezi not quite sure about his.

Tried out some poi balls...

He had the funnest time. I had to buy some partly because I wanted a pair and partly because he didn't want to give his up. Ok, so mostly because I wanted a pair.

And really enjoyed the new night show. This guy was the main adult character. Isn't he hot? Team who?

Before the night show we left to eat McDonald's then went back to watch the show. It was totally amazing and I would see it again and again. If you haven't seen the new show do yourself a favor and take your family it will be a night you won't forget! I will never forget this day. All our family (almost) in one place enjoying each other, catching up, laughing and watching our little ones play together. This is one I won't forget.
