A Dance!

Ever since doing English Country Dancing at a friend's wedding last July, we girls have wanted to try having a dance here at our place. Well it finally worked out, and this past Saturday was the day!! The Lord blessed us with pleasant weather, and the storms that were predicted passed by!

Getting the dancers ready for the 'Virginia Reel'.
The Knudtson family brought their sound system which was such a blessing to me, as shouting over music for 2-3 hours would have been extremely difficult. Thank you guys!!

I really enjoyed calling the dances!

After the 'Virginia Reel' and the 'Duke of Kent's Waltz', we stopped for supper.



Desserts!

Ana's strawberry trifle!

Joshy enjoying his food

Jo telling me all about snakes and how they can climb trees.  :)


After eating and visiting, we got back to dancing...

...this time doing 'Progressive Gordon'.

And then ending the evening off with another round of 'The Virginia Reel'!

We all had SO much fun!!
Unfortunately we didn't think to take a group picture until after a couple families had left, but this is most of us... minus 7 friends.  Oh yes, and minus the two photographers. :)
