Sock Hop!

Vivian and I went to our second Sock Hop this weekend.  Now that we have a better idea what it is, I planned ahead and asked a friend to make us matching poodle skirts.  We went with red, since it's currently Vivian's favorite color.  My friend said she saved enough of the material to make one for Elena next year.


We did some pre-partying at our neighbor's.  The girls danced to warm up, while the parents drank margaritas for similar purposes.  We all posed for a few more photos, and then got into golf carts to head to school.


A bunch of us showed up at the same time, and we got some cool pictures with the ISB panther (the poor thing is buried under all the girls).


We had also gotten chips, salsa, and guacamole with the margaritas, and Viv had filled up on guacamole, so she wasn't very interested in the food at the party.  Instead, she went right for the fun stuff.




Just like last year, she wasn't really interested in dancing with me, but she had a lot of fun dancing with her friends, and I had a lot of fun talking with mine.

A big difference was that this year, she attempted to participate in the bubble gum blowing contest.  She's gotten used to the concept of chewing gum over the past year, but the bubbles are still a work in progress.


Maybe next year will be her year for bubbles, and for limbo.  They divided up the girls by age, not height, and Vivian was the oldest (and probably tallest) in her group.  She had fun, but she didn't last long.



She felt the judge was a little harsh when she dismissed her, but she got over it with some dancing and hula hooping.  Overall, it was a fun night.

Don't worry, Jeff and Elena had fun of their own.  They had a little pool party the next day while I took Vivian to a birthday party.


It was a good weekend for the Goerss family :-)
