Barn Dance

Howdy Ho! We've been to the Big Barn Dance at Tomas' school. In preparation for this foot-stomping, pig-kissing event all the children took square dancing lessons. Then they taught the moms and dads on Friday night.

All dressed up - over to the Barn Dance we go.... (by the way - Toria is wearing her Minnie Mouse dress because it has the biggest swing when she spins!)


The school raised over $400 for both the Principal and Vice Principal to kiss a pig! The entire night was lots of fun but that was the hi-light for most kids.

Toria & I had helped at the school during the square dancing lessons (you try getting 50 kindergartners to remember their left and right hands. ... actually they did better than the Grade 3's who were 'too cool' but the Grade 5's they didn't seem to care and they had lots of fun. We even square danced to YMCA!


There was sack races, balloon races, obstacle course, and even a speed throw. Tomas threw the ball at 23 km/hour and Toria topped out at 19 km/hr.


Yee haw. What a great night.
