Musings on.....a dance off

Golden, BC

Recently we came back from a wedding/family reunion in Golden, British Columbia.
What a wonderful time we had.  Definitely too short for all of us, but a most quality experience!

I had not seen my parents and brother and sister for an entire year!  Aunts and uncles and cousins had been even longer!  We were all excited to see one another!

Harvesting

We packed up the car and started our drive on Monday.  Along the way we passed through some incredible wheat fields in eastern Washington.  It was around 7:30 at night and so interesting to see the trucks coming from everywhere, filled with wheat for the grain elevators.  I of course made my my husband stop, so I could get some pictures.

We arrived at my Uncle Red's cabin in Panorama.  There, we were able to spend some time with my parents and my brother.  We had a  swim and canoe in Lake Lillian.  My Dad pulled toes...a bit of a tradition!  We played competitive  Scrabble, and my uncle showed off his cool Kilt Coozie from Scotland!

Home Lodge, Golden, BC

Then it was off to Golden.  Home Lodge was wonderful place to stay.  The girls enjoyed the jacuzzi with their aunt and uncle.

The vista was fantastic!  The mountains are so close, and rise up so steeply.  We were even able to watch my cousin take off in the helicopter to get married at Table Rock.  Might have to save that for another blog!

Off to get married!

The reception was so much fun.  We danced and made wonderful fools of ourselves!  The band played everything from Abba to country!  The mosquitoes were fierce, but the dancing kept us moving!

Dancing Fun!

Now to get to the "Dance Off".  I'm not sure how it happened, but I know that Tom Jones "It's not unusual" was playing.  Someone "my husband?" wanted to know who was the better dancer.  Was it Dave or Timmy?  My brother decided to text his wife and ask her opinion.  All of the sudden a "Dance Off"  was declared!  My husband and brother in law in a "Dance Off!"  Too funny!  Problem was, that we had different opinions of who won.  The band had played their last song.  We had  plans of continuing inside, but it was just too late and we were were all too tired!

A very unique and funny moment.  We had a grand time and know that another "Dance Off"  will be in our future!
