we danced for the capitan

The beautiful ship was the perfect setting for a dance show! The captain was so sweet to come to our show!

And here are the highlights we had lots of food and sun and also seemed to fit in a dance show! Good times!

So we all loaded up the van and went on the cruise with the dancers!

And inbetween all that we found time for wa wedding shower! We even had a male stripper come...well Anyways Aaron suprised all the church ladies with a shirtless belly dance...He was in and out before we really knew what had happened. I died!

At Sam and Erins house even the grandkids got to work! They did great and cant wait till paint day at Matt and Janays!
