Haunted Lagoon

This morning we were pleasantly surprised to welcome Dennis and Diane Reeder, three married daughters, one son-in-law, and several grandchildren at the Visitors' Center.  They are good friends from the South Jordan Country Park 3rd ward.

Tonight we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and enjoyed(?) it's Haunted Lagoon.  The PCC has been holding this several nights a week for two weeks (two to go) as a means of offsetting the loss of income due to the recession.  Saturday night they had 3,500 attend and had to turn hundreds away.  We waited two hours in line for a 15 minute canoe ride through the lagoon.  Fun but not scary. 

Later, tonight at 9:30 pm, when the sister missionaries got home, the four senior couples took a birthday cake to Sister Ieremia from the Republic of Kiribati.  (Kiribati is a chain of 32 atolls and one raised coral island.  The average height of the atolls and island is 3 feet.  Kiribati is about half way between Hawaii and Australia.)
