Hula Hoops & Neon Rings


Last Friday evening I took Viva to the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Kick-Off Event which in our service unit is the PJ DJ Palooza Party--a dance party with a live DJ that you can attend in your pajamas. Viva was eager to go and asked to invite Cassidy, so we did. Although we arrived on time, the party was already in full swing. We checked out a few tables with cookie information, but as the girls are only five years old they were not very interested in cookie trivia. Viva already knew that if you sold 2013 boxes of cookies you earned a prize of an iPad. (No we are not selling 2013 boxes of cookies!) Viva and Cassidy got their nails painted. Then we hit the dance floor. The girls had a good time. They danced together for a while. They played with hula hoops. (I don't recommend letting a hundred girls loose on a dance floor with dozens of hula hoops!) They ate popcorn and cup cakes. They hooked up with four other girls from our troop who were at the dance. Cassidy stayed with the other girls and Viva wandered off on her own. I tried a few times to get her to hang out with the other girls, but she wasn't interested. (She's like her mother in this regard.) Instead she collected glow bracelets. The dance was in the gym with the lights off and the girls were given two glow bracelets when they arrived. A lot of bracelets came off while the girls danced and Viva collected lost bracelets.

When Viva got home she shared her bounty of bracelets with her brothers. They found that they spun quite well. They showed their tricks off to opa who took photos. A good time was had by all!
