Dance, Dance, Dance

Last week we were gone for about a week to visit family and attend a wedding in Kansas City.  I have to admit, I was unprepared to have as much fun as I did.

We were able to spend a couple of days visiting with my grandparents who live in a smaller town about an hour outside of KC.  Who knew FFM's first camel ride would be in Kansas?

There was a visiting "Educational Petting Zoo" in town, complete with exotic animals like kangaroo (he was not impressed), zebra, goats, and a porcupine (he was impressed).  I found out my only grown up girl cousin (my only other girl cousin is in grade school still) is going to have a baby.  And to top it all off we got to attend the wedding of my cousin Matt and Lindsey.  What a great week!

Mr. Man was so proud to be Matt and Lindsey's Ringbearer.  He's turning into a real pro.  If he wasn't already my kiddo I might have just stolen him right out the church he was so cute.  As it was I had to tackle the Father the Bride to get him out of the reception, FOTB was pretty sure FFM needed to stay in KC and hang out for a while.

Aren't they just a stunning couple?  I am so lucky to have a such lovely family, and these two are just the cutest, sweetest pair you've ever met.

The wedding was probably the most FUN wedding I've ever been to.  FFM definitely had a blast and had to be dragged from the dance floor, sweat and bridesmaids dripping off of him, when it was many, many hours past his bedtime.

 I learned a new thing about our child that night.  He is a DANCING MACHINE.  He has some dancing gene that skipped his Dad and I and he's got moves that no nearly five year old should have. Toss in no fear of girls and endless energy and you're all set up for a rowdy night on the dance floor.

 Yes, he really is dancing with all three of those bridesmaids at once.  I attempted to extricate him so they could dance with men their own age and they kept dragging FFM back in.

 Showing off his fancy moves with Granny Annie.

FFM had been dancing with that group of girls on the left and the bridesmaids snagged him back up again.  When we left several young men teased us and commented that now they would actually have a chance to dance with the ladies.

When we finally left his hair was wet like he'd just stepped out of a shower and his shirt clung to his back.  I'm just not sure where to take a young man out dancing, anyone have any weddings we can take him to anytime soon?
