I Could Have Danced All Night...(post for January 13)

We attended the 20th birthday party for one of the students who lives with us, dancing outdoors under huge oaks, our only lights those of the stars above and candles circling us on the ground. This photo of our dd and her boyfriend is not the best, but at least you can see them. I tried taking a few with no flash to preserve the ambience, but I obviously have a lot to learn!
This one with the flash shows us doing a vintage dance called "Mairie's Wedding." It is active and lots of fun!



Back at our friends' house we had ice cream and cake and then sat around singing while a couple of the guys played the guitar. In the midst of it all we discovered an unexpected guest, a flying squirrel! I'm not sure who was more surprised, the squirrel or us. The kids had an exciting time getting the squirrel out of the house! But I managed to grab my camera and get a picture of him first!
I have others but won't subject you to them here. I'll post them in Flikr

Your dancing looks so much fun, and your dd and boyfriend look like someone on the cover of a romance novel!

That looks like so much fun! Everyone all dressed up and the dancing!! The squirrel is cute and looks very surprised.

That doesn't look like a flying squirrel; it looks like a DEMON flying squirrel. He looks surprised, but eager to wreak havoc on the party:-)

What fun! I love your daughter's outfit and the fact that she has a boyfriend willing to do a vintage dance.
