Hoe Down

Caleb's preschool class held a Hoe Down at Shoup Park. It was a potluck. Luckily Caleb's small group was designated to bring dessert. I had no idea until I saw on the monthly activities calendar that there was "Hoe Down practice". I asked Caleb about it and he responded like yes... duh of course there's a dance to practice. And then he was super secretive about it and wouldn't show me any part of the dance. He did tell me that his partner was a girl named Lana. I made the mistake of suggesting we make cowboy hat sugar cookies. They weren't the prettiest cookies in the world but we made them together and he was proud of them. By the end of the night they were all gone so I guess they weren't unappealing.

The kids sat on a couple of blankets and sang a few songs. Caleb sat in the back and I couldn't get a good shot of him singing. He also was fidgety and taking his hat off & on. After the songs, the kids broke up into their small groups. I think when Jamie is around he gets super conscious and doesn't perform as well as he could.

The video is a little long. I'm not so sure about Caleb's dancing skills. For each group there was a small colored circle that they were supposed to keep in the middle. Instead of making sure they danced around it a couple of the kids kept moving the circle so it stayed in the middle.

Yee Haw!
