The annual sock hop at Marina's school was tonight. Marina has been looking forward to it for quite a while. The kids learn dances in their gym class (a bit more modern than the ones from the 1950's) to get them ready for the sock hop.
We had plans to have dinner before going to the Sock Hop, but we had car trouble. Marina was devastated. She asked if we could call one of her friends for a ride. That's what we did. I think for Marina, that actually made it more fun. The girls had fun just in the back seat of the car driving to school.
When we arrived, the girls were ready to have fun. They all took their turns getting their nails painted and having temporary tattoos put on. Marina and her friend made sure their tattoos matched.
They were very excited once the dancing started. They started off with the Limbo and did many dances including YMCA. By far, the kids' favorite dance was to Thriller.Only students third grade and up get to dance to that song, so Marina was participating for the first time.
Despite our trouble getting there, it turned out to be a great night!
