Sock Hop!

Two weekends ago we had a Sock Hop at church. It was fun planning and setting up for it. I dressed the boys in jeans and white teachers and slicked back their hair. Diana, Rilla, and I wore skirts and colorful shirts. We had such a great time dancing to 50's music and playing games. Walter won the hula hoop contest. He is pretty good. The only drawback was that was the weekend that we had all the rain which caused the flooding in middle Tennessee. It literally rained all weekend. Poured would be a more accurate term. We luckily weren't directly affected by the flooding since we are a higher elevation, but we saw small ponds of flooding in our surrounding neighborhoods. Nashville was hit hard and downtown Clarksville by the river was flooded and bridges and roads around them were also flooded. Because of this the whole school district was closed for the entire week. It was a lot of fun having the kids home all week despite the circumstances.
