At the Hop

Every year, Marina looks forward to the Sock Hop at her school. This year was no different. She had outgrown the poodle skirt she wore the past two years, so we got her a new one this year. It was a bit too big for her, but we made it work.

To make the night even more special, we decided to have dinner at a 50's style diner. and we invited some friends to join us. The wait staff gushed over Marina's outfit and she was happy to show it off for them. We all enjoyed our dinner before going to the Sock Hop.

Marina met up with several of her friends and they got temporary tattoos and had their nails painted. Then they were ready to dance.

The Sock Hop started with the Limbo, always a favorite. Then the dancing started with some geared toward the younger kids. Marina didn't get excited until the Macarena played. She was more interested in the dancing than her friends, which annoyed her a bit. But nothing could stop her when Thriller started.

By the end of the Sock Hop, Marina was very tired, but she was happy!
