The One With the Father Daughter Dance

This past Thursday, the annual Father - Daughter Dance was held at the Yacht Club. It was a fabulous time.

We actually spent the earlier part of the day finding a dress. Bri settled on a salmon-colored dress with gold flowers...which she really liked. 

When we got there, we were able to first get a drink of punch for the punch fountain. Bri enjoyed this last year and visited several times this year.

Then, we got something to eat. There were lots of items to choose from. We had some crackers and cheese for snack then visited the dance floor. After that, we had some egg rolls, pizza, chicken nuggets, and meatballs....quite a smorgasbord. We ate outside and enjoyed the warm weather and setting sun along the waterfront. 

We returned to the dance floor, and danced. There were several fathers on the dance floor as well, which is always great to see.

After, we went back outside to walk along the grass and took a picture at the bandstand.

We came back in and found what Bri was really waiting for - the chocolate fountain. She dipped strawberries, marshmallows, and rice krispie treats in the fountain for a perfect dessert. Then, they played "Hit The Road Jack" and it was time to go.

Another wonderful, father, daughter dance...and another one that I will never forget.

The One With the Father Daughter Dance

Last Friday - February 13 - was a father daughter dance in town. Bri and I went to it.

What a blast. It is the second year we have attended this event and we had a ton of fun. We both got dressed up and had some fun.

When we arrived, we registered and had a picture taken in front of an imaginary sky line. Then, we walked in, and joined in the dancing. Fathers and daughters were doing some fun, side to side dance. After that, there was another jazzy dance to Let It Go from FROZEN, then it was time for a Hoola Hoop contest.

We followed that up by playing a few games and then watching Cotton Eyed Joe, which was being taught to all of the kids - and dads - who were there. Fun times!

Bri encountered plenty of kids from school and some from dance who recognized her.

Then, we did the YMCA - always a blast, and went downstairs to get some water and do a few crafts. We made a key chain, frame, and colored some pictures.

We wrapped up with one last jazzy dance and took off into the cold night...which was like 10°F outside.

It was a fun time and one I will never forget! The type I know I will remember decades from now.
