Daddy Daughter Dance

     On Friday after visiting Mrs. Roberts' class, I attended the Daddy Daughter dance in my home town!  Jenna Osseck (Miss Northeast Counties), Jocelyn Weyer (Miss Northeast Counties OT), Samantha Caraway (Miss Pulaski Counties OT), and I spent the evening greeting guests, dancing with little girls, and signing autographs.  It was a great time!!

Jocelyn & I!!

     We began the evening by greeting all the guests as they came in.  The girls ranged from pre-school to 8th grade. After a while the incoming crowd slowed down, so we decided it was time to dance!!  We danced to songs ranging from the Macarena to Beyonce's "Single Ladies."  I love the Daddy Daughter Dance because there's always a dance floor full of girls and a ring around the dance floor full of non-dancing dads. But no worries!! There are always a few brave dads! :)

 

     Next, it was time to sign autographs!  Jenna, Jocelyn, Samantha, & I sat in a line at the back of the room.  The girls formed a line and filed through to each one of us.  It was very organized for a while, but as I'm sure you can imagine (with 800 girls!) it got a bit chaotic after a while!  Luckily, everyone who wanted an autograph was able to get one!

     We finished the night out by thanking Carol Cox for inviting us to the event & dancing some more!  This time we were kickin' it old school!  We danced to "I Will Survive" and even a little "Thriller."  Both of which were great dancing tunes. :)

     There were a little over 800 girls at this year's Daddy Daughter Dance!  Dancing and kids are 2 of my favorite things.  So when you put 800 dancing kids in front of me, I can't help but have a good time!  We had an AWESOME time!  Thank you Carol!

Thank you Carol!!
