a square Dance {Girl's Weekend: post 2/4}

we heard there was a square dance at the bascom barn, but i certainly had no idea what to expect. but we got everyone in jeans and boots and bandanas and headed out for pizza and a square dance...complete with a band made up of guitars, a mandolin, and a bass.

in somewhat of a barn...with plastic walls and heaters ;0)

i'm almost certain we brought the average age down a generation or two with our little ones attendance. ;0)

but these two little girls in their tiaras were without a doubt as comfortable as they could be!

dancing and pausing for a few ballet moves.

it was time for sweet andrew to eat, so he sucked down a bottle in between dances with the help of Anne Perry. and i know he's mine, but could he be any cuter? 

Lots of dancing

and after Addie got a little {more} food in her (i swear this child is growing again and we cannot fill her up! she'd already eaten 2 huge pieces of pizza and started in on the chili!)

And after i {semi} drug her out there, she was hooked and had a blast!

even rierie got out and danced!  

but it really got going when they started the organized square dancing. not in a square, more of a circle. and once we realized the little girls could not be our partner (because there was no way they could promenade around the circle by themselves), we became one person...kids with adults! (and i think we royally confused the locals!). so nana and ap were one person. audrey kate, caroline, and i were one person. and the 5 of us were partners! ha! can we say multi-tasking at it's finest! and we seriously had a blast! i love audrey kate's face here!!!

we were suppose to be circling, promenading, swinging and making some bridge...so after we attempted it all, we just danced in a circle all by ourselves and smiled ;0)

i ♥ my nana something serious! she loves our girlies and andrew and can handle the craziness of our family without skipping a beat...and look gorgeous while doing it! and there you have it...a gen-u-ine mountain square dance!
