Our church has an activities committee which my husband and I are fortunate to be members of. It was decided that we should have a family Valentine's Day dance in the 'Cultural Hall' (a.k.a.... the Gym) of the church building. Church members were encouraged to bring a wedding photo and /or family photo to display on a table at one end of the room and a plate of treats for the table on the other end of the room. Someone brought a stereo with huge speakers and set them up on the stage.
I thought the event had a pretty good turnout, and everyone had lots of fun socializing, if not dancing. I should say that all the married couples took to the dance floor during the slow songs, and all the energetic folks, old and young, took to the dance floor on the fast ones.
Will stated emphatically that he WOULD NOT dance; not even with his mother. After a while, though, I convinced all the boys his age to line up and do the Can-Can, Will included!
After that, he seemed to unwind some and danced with his buddies. He even contemplated the reward of $10.00 that Jeremy Haws was offering to whichever of the 11-13 year old boys who would go ask Kelsey S. to dance a slow dance! Poor Kelsey! I told the boys that he should have offered to pay her the $10.00 for putting up with dancing with one of them! In the end, none of the boys was brave enough. She is a VERY cute girl!
Helena danced several times with her Daddy, since there was simply no one her age at the party. Still, I think she had a good time.
