In Enterprise we rotate the Golden Green Ball and the Road Show. All the wards in our stake participate. This year we did the Golden Green Ball. Our ward was assigned the Jitterbug. Bishop actually called me and asked if Rhett and I would teach the Jitterbug to our Young Women and Young Men. That was fun! But, I will say, our youth need quite a few more dance lessons. We were able to teach them the basics and do a little floor show. After all the wards did their assigned dances, then it just became a dance. That was fun to see parent (some of them) dancing with their kids. If you are wondering if Rhett and I were among the brave parents willing to venture out on the dance floor with the youngsters, and perhaps be criticized for our old fogie dance moves and our ability to embarrass our young. Then, the answer is yes! We feel it is part of our parental responsibilities to embarrass our children any chance we get. It keeps them humble, and teaches them to have fun and live life instead of sitting on the sidelines watching. (Oh, No. . . someone might see us! Whatever that is so lame!) And did we embarrass them, No! Everyone thought we are cool! Or at least that is what they say to our faces.
This is some of Tanner's mad moves at the dance.
Oh Morgan, you take such beautiful pictures! I love your personality. But, really I'm alittle afraid your eyes are going to bong out.
Morgan dancing with Kaden Carter. Aw, how cute.
Olivia, Morgan and Shay watching the floor show. I thing the ward performing is doing the waltz.
Tanner is taking a break. This dancing is exhausting! I like the purple tie.
This is Tanner during the floor show. I am running the music so I left Rhett with the camera. Wow, he makes me look like a professional photographer! Morgan is in there somewhere, but, I can't see her, can you? Well Rhett, I think you get an "E" for effect, but that is the best I can give you!
More photos by Rhett. Maybe the problem is they are just moving to fast for the eye to see them clearly. Nice try, it is the photographer.

I am glad you joined the blogging world. I love staulking Courtney's family now I can staulk yours too ;) I would have got out there and danced too...that is half the fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, I miss Gold and Green Balls and Roadshows! Now that is what growing up should be like! What a great time, I am glad your stake still does that. Our stake had dance festival a few years back and our youth loved it. They had a blast, but it has not yet been repeated.
ReplyDeleteThanks for blogging and letting me check up on you every now and then!
