100 Days to Dance Marathon Celebration

For years DM organizers have wanted to throw a party 100 days until the Big event and this year they did. We were invited to come to the party. There of course was music, students and energy-LOTS of energy.
Miss Iowa and Miss Teen Iowa were judging a dance contest. When I told Simeon about it, he started busting some pretty cool moves. He was having such a great time dancing that he went up on the stage to show off his moves. He had all the students cheering him on. Corrine went on the stage, but she choose to stand and watch and not dance herself.



Ammon was being really shy and not talking and interacting with the students until one girl spent a long time just playing with him and he finally opened up. After that he was a non stop energy ball. He joined all the glow necklaces to make a GIANT lasso to catch dad with.

Rebecca enjoyed watching all the students, but she wouldn't smile while we were in the dance hall. As soon as I took her out she'd give me huge smiles. She wasn't crying, just taking it all in. Perky came over to meet her a few times, and she would grab the fur on his hand and pat it.




As part of the night we were introduced on stage just like they do at the BIG Event.

All night Simeon watched students do the cash machine and he wanted to give it a try. The students were entered in a raffle if they did it, but the kids just got to have fun in it.

Sounds so much fun. Did you take video of Simeon on the dance floor? Rebecca is just getting cuter and cuter (if possible). I really hope you come in the beggining of the year so i can meet her.

What a party! I wish I could have seen Simeon's dance moves. Maybe he can show them off when I'm there next week. You got some great pictures of Rebekah's sweet smiles.
