The weekend was good. I enjoyed the religious service on Saturday and yesterday, the dancing was fine. The family dance was really good. Both girls danced a lot for them. DD2 danced three dances (a personal record for her:)) and then she pooped out. She ended up falling asleep for half an hour in the second half. And DD1 danced almost all the dances which was really good considering she usually would only dance for about an hour (in a two hour dance).
We raced home and got everyone fed, I picked up the sitter, and then we raced out the door to dance at Glen Echo. It was freezing, but so worth it. The music was old-timey (not our favorite), but it had good energy and people were having a good time. And the dances were quite good. Plus, it was nice to be dancing an hour earlier. I danced all the dances save two (that we were there for). I just got too tired at the end (and hungry, oddly enough). And the girls did well with the sitter putting them to bed, so that was nice too.
