This was our 7th Dance Marathon and the kids excitement for it has only increased.
This really is the party of all parties.
Some highlights from the weekend.
We were group 7. A large part of our group were 1st time dancers. One was a friend of Simeon's, high school sister.
Our Family Rep Nicole from last year flew from Florida to be here. Corrine LOVED having her around.
Simeon pillowcase was on the bottom row this year, so we could get a picture of him standing by it.
This year the neon green screen was such a hit for the kids. We danced behind it and took lots of videos and pictures of the fun.
This year there was a Dance Marathon wall with all the shirts and stats from the years.
The family room was of course a BIG hit. Rebecca liked dressing up, but the soft comfy corner was the most loved area.
Twister got the kids twisted pretty tight with each other!
We spent lots of time with Jan & Denny. Their daughter Becky and Simeon became instant friends, as did the rest of us. Becky passed away just over 2 years ago.
We danced in the ball room with the students. Friday night Rebecca was the star of the show and got lots of attention.ing video games in the Best Buy room.
Simeon and Ammon spend ALOT of time play
Saturday Rebecca feel asleep during Power hour and slept through the loudest, biggest, craziest motion packed hour!
We cried when the pictures and names of those gone too soon were read. 15 new children were added to the Dancing in Our Heart Quilt this year.
Becky had a new picture of her . It was beautiful.
We stayed until the very end. Corrine & Ammon collected hundreds of glow sticks as per our annual tradition, then we all got our DM 19 bracelets.
And over $1.5 million was raised For The Kids!!!
