Sock Hop and Ice Cream Social!

We really, really love our elementary school. It reminds me of something out of a movie, with tons of old-school activities like talent shows, sock hops and ice cream socials. The kids love it, and I think it is just too cute! Here are a few photos from the sock hop/ice cream social. Autumn and Bear had such a blast! Here are some photos from the evening.




They had a DJ come and invited the kids to make requests. Bear put down "Living on a Prayer." I love that kid!





Autumn jumped right into the crowd of kids and started dancing as soon as we got there, but Bear hung back a bit at first because he was nervous. He hugged my leg really tight and said, "Well, it's just kind of like High School Musical, and I'm not really used to that." It was precious! He eventually jumped right in. Literally!





After dancing and ice cream sundaes, the kids headed out on the playground to play.







For the event's grand finale, the 2 classes that raised the most cans during the food drive got to throw pies in the faces of their teachers... They LOVED it!




And on a side note, it appears that Autumn's cheerleading workouts must be paying off. She did more sit ups in one minute than any other kid in the school, even the boys! Way to go!
