What great music! What great dancing!, What a blast!...
What sore muscles this morning LOL
Last night Jay, the kids and I joined up with the Griffins (minus 1), Dave Inch from the 1st Baptist and some of his youth group for an evening of square dancing! What a hoot!
Dancing started around 7:45pm and didn't end till midnight, and I am feeling it in every part of my legs and feet.
There was great music provided of course by Michelle and Blake Found plus my hubby again on bass. A lovely cold buffet meal and 14 dances of which I believe I danced to 11? Not quite sure of the number, it gets kind of blurry after 8.
Simon danced even more than I did and well, I have to say that boy is sure quick on his feet. I would have been lost without him. He picked up most of the dances pretty quick and was guiding me quite capably. He even managed to throw in a couple of his own little moves much to the amusement of our dance instructor and fellow dancers.
Amy was off with her own group and her "man" of the evening Amy Sedore.
What a great night and I can't wait for the next one. Okay...maybe I can wait, the mind is willing but the feet need time to recuperate.
Paul and Sally. Oh my goodness! Sally was sooooo funny last night. Jay and I were still laughing, after we went to bed, at a funny little incident involving the food line, the topic of square dancing and 4H!
Simon doesn't look too impressed here, but he was just concentrating hard lol.
The silverhaired gentleman in the white shirt put on a little tap dance show for us during one of our breaks. He is really quite good :)
A couple of lovely men.
Me and my dance partner.
The 2 Amy's :) Man how they've grown since we first met Amy S. in Emily Fennel's voice classes.
Michelle, Blake and Jay providing the wonderful music and sometimes musical comic relief (eh honey?)
This was actually shot 'before' he started dancing. Notice the "I'm in this chair for the long haul stance"? haha
From this shot you'd think they were bored wouldn't you? Actually they were resting and watching some other dancers practicing. Doing exactly what they were told, "watch and learn". I think Paul was ready to leave at this point, but Colleen wanted to stay right till the end.
Funny note here: All the way to the hall in the car, Simon was miserable. "I'm not dancing", "I don't like square dancing". To this I replied (in a loving, motherly fashion) "okay then just sit in a corner and be quiet...don't ruin the evening for everyone else". Now you can see me saying that calmly and lovingly can't you?).
Look at the grin on his face!
Simon and Colleen

Great snaps, Victoria! Yes, it was a fun evening. Everyone always seems to enjoy themselves. It's more fun than people first imagine. They think it's "for old people" because it's been around since time began, I'm sure; however, those teens just keep coming out month after month. Now YOU're hooked.
Glad the kids enjoyed the dancing too. And thanx for sharing hubby with Blake and me. See ya there on May 8th!
I square danced twice in elementary school - once in kindergarten when we did a little "Turkey in the Straw" routine - which I loved, and once in grade 5 in gym class, but I think I stopped because I felt guilty (FMer DANCING - oh my). When I was about 19 working at a kids camp I got the chance to do it again and I L-O-V-E-D it. I rarely get the chance to do it, but if I do, it's so much fun.
