The Little Mermaid

We wnet to Atlanta last weekend to see the Southern Ballet. This year's show was the Little Mermaid. Emma was in it and she played a poor sole..the counterpart of the Seawitch. It was hard to believe that was Emma under all that black. She did a great job as did the dance company. We had to go thru some bad weather to get there. Ho thought the ballet should have been the Wizzard of Oz...the tornados would have been a perfect backdrop. But we made it there and back without any problems. It was good to have everyone together again. The long hours and hard work that Emma put in really showed. It was a great time for us all.

The girl's 1st dance

The girl's 1st dance???? Yes it was a father's & daughter's dance. The area schools were putting it together at the YMCA. When the girls mentioned this I thought it was crazy put I listened. But they had it all planned out. Sam would go with HO, Jenna with Dusty, and Tori with Donny. NO problem at all they thought. I told them we needed to make sure all the boys didn't have plans. So when I called they said yes as soon as I said the girls wanted something. So last night the girls dressed up...you know in jeans and t-shirts and the boys showed up..you know in their boots and the 6 of them went to the dance. The Bear and I were not allowed to go because we were over the age limit for the girls. So we counted the hours wondering if they were having a good time. Well 9:30 rolled around and the blue bus came home with smiling faces and laughter. We were told that some did the macoroni, the girls did the chicken dance, everyone did the village people's YMCA, and one guy jumped rope. I would have loved to see them all dance and see Dusty jumping rope. It was a great time by all I was told. The girls are even planning for next year.
