A Trip to the Islands

For many years, our ward would host a luau as a ward activity.  It was always held at the home of one of our ward members.  As that couple grew older, they asked not to continue with the tradition of having it at their home.  At that point, it seemed that the tradition would die, as we did not have a luau for several years.  But this year, it returned.  It was held in the pavillion behind the church.  First we had a delicious americanized island dinner complete with roasted pig.  Then we watched the dancers perform dances that were simple and graceful, heartpounding and enthusiastic, terrifying and amazing, and all mesmerizing.  it was a fun evening as we took a "trip to the islands"
