Costume Dance



A few days after Melody and I returned from Texas,
we three Hemmer kids went down near Bloomington for a costume dance.
We enjoyed seeing all the creative and beautiful costumes of everyone else
since we didn't have time to make some for ourselves.




There were people from the Old West and Colonial time periods.

Dick Tracy and James Bond showed up as well as some visitors from Hawaii.


Amber and Shannon Moeller came as Maid Marian and Friar Tuck.

They both spent a long time making their costumes, and the finished products were excellent!


Before the dance, we met them in Bloomington for visiting, games, and supper,

but they just came as Amber and Shannon.

I think it would have been more interesting if they had come dressed up instead of changing right before the dance!

Just think of the looks we would have received!


Amber and Helena (a Scottish maiden)



Johannah Stanford and her "one-legged" soldier husband, Adam

I don't think anybody quite knew what Sam was supposed to be,

but his was definitely the most unique costume!

He had white socks rolled up and pinned to his clothes.


We had fun visiting with friends during the breaks.
Faith, Jill, Amber, Johannah, Melody, Helena

This was the last English Country dance for awhile since

Lucas will be getting married in two weeks,

but we hope he continues the dances in the future.

We sure enjoy them!

Hey looks like fun!
Since you won't be going to any 'dances' for a while you should try and set one up around here and teach your old friends how to dance! :) I think it would be fun but some of us might need allot of help!
