The happiest place on earth...

Chris has travelled to Hong Kong and made his way to Disneyland! 

(Hong Kong Disneyland is a theme park located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It is the first Disneyland in Asia outside of Japan. The Hong Kong Disneyland is located inside the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. Opened: September 2005)

 What an amazing place, more wonderful experiences for Chris.





Believe in the magic!




I hope your presentation goes well Chris!


Just for fun here are a few pictures from when Tim and I went to Hong Kong back in 2000. 

We finally arrived in Hong Kong thirty hours after we left Salt Lake!



Stanley Market


Riding the train, it was always so crowded, you can see Luke with his red suspenders. Tim and I are right behind him.



I remember Susan explaining why the male lion had his paw on a ball.

(The male lion, symbolic of the Yang, usually has one paw placed upon a ball. It may come as some surprise to know that the ball is actually supposed to be embroidered and not, as may be expected, representative of some weapon or other masculine accessory.

The embroidered ball itself has a long history. Often made from discarded clothing as a toy for children, their gift came to represent friendship and affection. To this day in China, the throwing of an embroidered ball from a woman to her beloved in the hope he will catch it to bring about good fortune is an aspect of courtship.)

The food was delicious, we really enjoyed the Dim Sum!



We had a wonderful time visiting Luke and Susan while they were serving a mission there. It was very hot!
