Easter 2012: Soccer Smash Down

     
       Holidays in our family are always amazing, because most of our family lives close so that planning long, fun gatherings is easy. This Easter we went right from Spring Break, getting off a plane to hunting Easter eggs and getting to see all our family. so we woke up did a mini Easter egg hunt to getting ready for the Easter Sunday service in Mammoth, then we all hopped in our cars and drove to our Grandparents house for more food and a killer soccer game.................

Cha Cha Slide

   
        So......... One Wednesday a longish time ago we finished school and walked up to a friends house before attending small group, but a few days before that we had a school dance and at the dance the "Cha Cha slide" played. Anyways, we were all walking to my friends house with my other friend and my sister so we pulled out our maracas and played the Cha Cha Slide on my friends iPod. So we cha cha, and got many strange looks from passing cars and a guy on a bike....still we cha cha'd on. At school that day my friend was excited to show us the prom dresses that she got from her cousin, when we got there we looked through all the dresses and found ones that we wanted to try on. Being the strange villagers that we are you cant just put on a dress and sit there and look pretty in it, no.... for a little bit we ran around the house like turkeys and then practiced decending the stairs and pretended to trip down them :). i found one of the bags for the prom dresses and zipped my self up in it and flopped down the stairs a couple times like a giant green worm. we then ventured to the great out of doors in our colorful dresses and rode the scooter around the cement and when wearing a giant dress its hard to see the scooter. Me and my friends had my sister film us doing the cha cha slide in the drive way and from it, we got the amazing video below =-).

Cha Cha-ing and freaking people out.

Prom dresses!

Thoe it may look like we were "completely" organized we did have some issues throughout the video.........................
-some of us (me) kept messing up left and right.
-some of us (Nichole) couldn't find her knees through her dress.
- And the reason we all look around us, scream and in the end frantically
scatter and run away at the end was because Nichole's mother came home.

Scattering in action. :-)
