complete –> #64 Attend Fa-Dau Ball

Tonight was the annual Father-Daughter Ball, and I went with one of my
daughters. We had a BLAST! It was SO MUCH FUN! They had an excellant DJ who kept it going upbeat and lively, with only a few slow dances. I haven’t danced that much in I don’t know how long. It was a two hour dance and we were on the floor for the better part of the night. My little one is already making plans to go next year.



I am marking this one a resounding 100% complete!
