As an end of the year celebration, the Elementary school had a parent/student “sock hop.”
It’s no secret that we started out the year on rough ground since they couldn’t possibly compare to my first love, TAISM. But I begrudgingly admit that my cold, hard heart is warming to their charms after several great events this past month: game night — that I haven’t posted about yet, swim meet/mile swim, promotion ceremony, and now the opportunity to dance with 2 handsome men.
I was thrilled to find that it wasn’t a skeevy dance, nor one where everyone stands around the edges and nibbles on chips. They played tons of 50s music, some classic Elvis, and a few modern standbys, like the “Chicken Dance.” It was really fun seeing parents dancing with their kids, with each other, or taking photos of all the cuteness.
The kids could get photos taken with their friends in the old fashioned “car.”
The sister was not a willing dance partner
This smooth mover insisted on wearing his suit — it goes nicely with the bat face painting on his cheek.
The conga line got going and the party was on!
She wasn’t keen on attaching to the person ahead of her, but she managed to keep up
The sweetest part was that Carter actually wanted to spend time with me and Camille. He said he wasn’t interested in going unless we came.
I think the kid is growing . . .
Of course, they played Rockin’ Robin.
That smile from both of us means only one more day of school!
