Family Dance

Last Thursday was the annual Champion School Family Dance!  We were able to get out of it last year because Emry was only in Kindergarten and they didn't practice the dances like they do once they get into grade one!  In gym class for about the last month they have been learning how to do the Bunny Hop, the Virginia Reel, the Butterfly, the Chicken Dance and the Macarena!  Everyday after school she would show us little snippets of some of the dances and ask how many more sleeps until the dance!  There was no way we could get out of it this year!  However, we couldn't get there until just after 8 pm, an hour after it started because mommy and daddy had to sing in the Vulcan Choral Festival, which has always taken place the same night!  Emry happened to miss all the dances she learned, except the Limbo.  When they announced last song she started to cry, so I went to the DJ, who happened to be Nathan Jackson a friend of ours, and asked him if he could play the Macarena one more time for Emry!  He said a couple minutes of it wouldn't hurt!  So they ended the family dance with the Macarena, it made Emry happy!  Calum got right into doing the Macarena too, only he always jumped and turned just a little late!
