1) Each family gets a night to prepare dinner and entertainment
2) The entertainment has to be really entertaining
3) When it's your night for dinner, you also get to clean up!
My family along with Marlo's family got night 2. Actually we got night 3, but the fish Marlo brought was defrosted and we didn't want to risk smelling it the next day, so we took night 2 instead. Marlo & Bruce prepared a really tasty Halibut dinner, I took care of the baked potatoes & burnt them just a little.
After dinner and clean up everyone gathered on the top of the house boat and Marlo tried to get us to all join her cult and critique her scriptures she made up. Jerry wouldn't have any of that so she resorted to plan B, which was Line Dancing.
She taught us the new line dance to "Good Time" by Alan Jackson. It was lots of fun! A few of the more talented, coordinated members of the family actually caught on.
I admit this picture doesn't do Linda justice, but she had to leave the next morning and I wasn't able to get many pictures of her since she was only there for one day, but she's still beautiful!!! (and Christopher is a cutie as well : )
Nakia & Liz. Liz is going to be my neice-in-law next november. Nakia is standing on her tippy toes and Liz is bent over & still towers over Nakia.
After line dancing the mood got a little more romantic for some and proceeded to do some famous bear hugging. Jonathon & Jamie have been married for somewhere between 3 and 7 years and still act like newleyweds, probablly cuz they don't have any little ones running around crazy!

That sounds awesome! I just LOVE daning. In fact I was quite the dancer in college. Weldon hates it big time. But, I made him take a ballroom dance class with me a couple years ago. We always went home fighting so I quit in the middle of it. It just wasn't worth the fight and it was ruining my self image that I think Weldon has of me. THEN, two years ago at the Collin Raye concert, he asked me to dance during a slow song out in the isle in front of everyone. It was the only time he has asked me to dance since we were dating so I knew I had to do it. And, I also knew that he thought I wouldn't do it. So I did and everyone stared at us.
I like the way you broke down the vacation. My post is SOOOO long. I wish we had some good footage of Jerica teaching us her moves! That was a riot & I think we should practice them at every family dinner!
