Dancing Dorks

Last day together

Most of the family went to the Temple today to participate in Katie's endowments, and the teens did baptisms.  Since I have young kids I was in the group that wasn't able to go, so hopefully one of the family members who went not only took pictures, but can also write about it here for us.

After that we all met up at Kathy's church for lunch, playing and dinner.  Linda, Dave, Hollie and Brandon were in charge of Weenie Mania and did a great Job, Scarlett and Callie were our mascots.  We had 4 teams (Go Zouts!) and created names, posters and songs.  Then we went through the rounds of games.  In the end the score was neck and neck and it came down to the mini weiner eating contest.  Scott, Kelsie, Ashlee (me) and Chase were representing their respective teams.  In the end Chase won (2nd isn't so bad, right) with 25 in 2 mins!  His team won the trophy (I'm not sure which team mate ended up with it.  After that we had a presentation from Shawn telling the story of how he earned/stole the "You Da Man" award, and presented it to....... Erin.  You Da WO-Man.

Then we had the dance, Thank you Mike for the wonderful Music.  I was humbled AGAIN as I realized what a dorky dancer I've become since I've become a mother.  It was great fun.  Then dinner and now it's time for the Friday Adult Meeting.

Square dancing

Here is a sampling of the Square dancing night... Notice my dad, it's easy to see where I get my "Mad Skillz" from.

Temple Square and square dancing

Today was t-shirt day.  Thanks to Karen, they are amazing.  Just wait until you get yours!  Everyone Loved them.  In the morning we went to Temples Square to see the new Church video.  It was the first time I've gotten to see it.  The sister who played Lucy Mack Smith was in our old Provo Stake and spoke to us at an event and shared her testimony and talked about all the amazing things that happened while filming.  So I was excited to finally see it.  In the afternoon we lost 2 more family members when Steve and Lynne overshot their exit and ended up near Provo!  In fact we still haven't seen them.  I believe something happened to car, but I'm not sure.  After lunch we got to learn some basic square dancing from a professional "shouter".  At least I think that's what she was called.  She was great, we all lost 10 lbs and had a lot of fun.  Mike and Cole earned the Golden Cowboy hats for their fancy footwork.  Now we have some down time before dinner, where we're hoping to video conference with Karen.  Maybe we'll see the rest of you online too!
