So yesterday evening I went to a Contra Dance. No, I did not just misspell country. Contra dancing is kind of like line dancing, or Pride and Prejudice dancing. The cool things about it are that you have a partner, but you dance in groups of four, and progress up and down the line, so you get to dance with other couples.

Anna's family told the W-- family about it, and they brought me along. What was really cool was that the MckCassons (Ahem, I can't spell) were playing . . . I got to introduce Anna and Elizabeth to them.

It was a little scary at first, because you get randomly paired up with someone, and for the first part of the first dance, I didn't know what I was doing, and neither did my partner! But then for the second dance, my partner was someone who new how to contra dance, so I really got the hang of that one dance.

After the first two dance I was tired out, and it was strange, I was like, mentally tired to, but elated at the same time. Eventually Anna and I tried dancing again, and we completely failed. We dropped out, but we tried again later, and she got it figured out, all though it was VERY confusing because she was dancing the boys part and had to explain it every time we danced in a new group. Anyway, since she knew what she was doing, she kind of steered me through it.

Later when we were leaving ( after we had said all of our goodbyes,etc. etc.) the B-- family gave Aunt Joyce and Uncle Tom a cake, because it was their anniversary. So we went back inside, sat on the stairs and ate it. It was very good after all the dancing!! Anyway, then we left (repeating the goodbye process) and had the whole drive home . . . we were pretty tired. However, once I got in bed, I wasn't really tired. . . and Elizabeth kept waking up. Once during the night, when the light was on, Elizabeth said, "I suppose we should turn of the light." I said, "Oh, light shmight." and she replied, "Exactly! Oh, great I'm using that word to much." so I said "What? Light? Or Shmight?" And she said, " I was thinking 'exactly.'" So of course the rest of the night we joked about that . . .
