It was a true Cowboy Valentine’s Day, complete with the hats, boots, swirly skirts, and some old-fashioned square dancing in the gym! After weeks of practicing our steps, we were finally ready to give those heel-and-toe dances our best shot. Not only did we do the easy dances, but we also did our own versions of “Oh Johnny“, “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown“, “Hi Lee Hi Low“, and “Gentle on My Mind“. We did circle right and left, single file, swing, allemande, promenade, do-sa-do, star in the middle and MORE!
The last two dances are Nestor favourites… the chicken dance and the macarena! Thank goodness it was almost lunchtime when we finished. After a few liters of water, we were glad to tuck into our fabulous “friendship fruit salad“. The pink Strawberry ice cream was a coooool delight as well! At the end of the day, we took our near-to-bursting Valentine Pocket Garden off the wall so that we could open up all those Valentines we collected!
Yee-Haa… there may be a few tired cowboys and cowgirls tonight!
