ReplyDeleteLove ALL the pix! Lachlan just knows how to get in a pix even without trying, doesn't he? :)
Thanks so much for sharing, Daddy-o!
So cool!
Looked like so much fun
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us Daddy-O
If one stops to think about it, a community dance was a big thing in rural areas. It served as an opportunity for young unmarried people to meet and socialize. Group social settings are a dwindling event or am I wrong. Has Dancing with the stars breathed new life into learning actual dance steps which allows for different dance partners to "fill their dance card" Glad to see a fun time was had by all. keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteDashing, Daddy-o...just dashing!
