In Celebration Of . . .

The birth of Kaylee, the McCracken family hosted a dance! What fun it was to get out all our costumes, but a little deflating to find we only had about half the clothes we thought we did . . . :-) Ah well, it was a lovely evening with a Scottish flair, beautiful costumes, and plenty of room to dance! We learned several new dances, one being the 'Lizzy-Darcy' dance from Pride and Prejudice. Because they used music off of You Tube, we even had the pleasure of their conversation! :-) The other new dance was a Scottish one which we never quite perfected but had a blast in the meantime. A big thank-you to Mr. McCracken, whose patience and skill in calling enabled us to have such a great time.
As the evening drew to a close, Mr. McCracken put on some toe-tapping music and, thanks to the leading of Maci and her father Mr. Davis, we filled the floor with polka dancers. I've never had the experience of dancing the polka, but a worthy experience it was and one I would gladly repeat if given the opportunity. :-)

Mrs. Clark . . . choir director, musician, teacher, inspiration. She helped us keep to the beat by clapping while we were learning a new dance.


Good times
Happy Birthday Kaylee! :-)

Connor decided to try the dance a new way. :-)
