Friday Fun

We watched many persons performing this evening at the Encore Dance Academy's Spring recital. There was talent from the tiny littles spinning and toeing to tunes like 'Somewhere Out There' to the 'Minuet in G' by Bach. Miss Gattenby performed in a pleather jacket and magnifying glass to 'Private Eye.' However, the kidlets who danced and bossed their fellow performers as the audience clapped to 'Old Time Rock and Roll', brought down the house. The second half was just as much fun and the dance to Misty Mountain was incredible! 

 After the recital, Mum and I wandered over to the Sports Center in Soldotna to walk a couple of laps for this year's Relay for Life.

Each team had something fun to offer and The Kenai Youth Facility was no exception. They may have broken the mold for fun do it yourself games. It appears the idea originated with Alanna, but Rose and others helped to create it. Yup, 'Potty Plinko', play the game and help to 'Wipe Out Cancer'!!!!!

  

You stand behind the purple game board, on a step stool, and drop a ping pong ball over the top. It rolls thru the empty toilet paper tubes and almost always falls into a cup at the bottom. It was a huge hit! 

 I was glad we arrived in time to hear the roll call of those who have gone on and those who are still with us. It was hard to hear Mr. DeVito's name read, I am so sorry his fight is over. Yet, I am glad  his body is now at peace. I will never forget how he worked to forge a decent human being from that gawky bookish 6th grade girl.

 Rose and I are sporting top of the line recyclable necklaces with the team's logo on them. To 'Wipe out Cancer,' is one of my dreams as well.
