We had a Ball!!!

We celebrated the annual Hawkeye Greyhound Ball this past weekend and we had a BLAST! It has been 4 years since our last ball so we were definitely ready to live it up. Luckily for us, Grandma Gigi happened to be in town so she stayed with Will so we could have our fun and then sleep it off at the Marriott in downtown Norfolk. We started the night with cocktails and catching up with friends, some of whom we hadn't seen in years. After dinner we went upstairs to enjoy (free) drinks and a live band. We even cut a rug or two, as you can see by some of the lively pictures. Cameras really should be banned at some point in the evening...I guess we won't be running for office anytime soon. :) We had a great time. Thanks Grandma Gigi for watching Will so we could enjoy our night away!



We were dancing fools as the night went on! This is the only time I can get Keith on the dance floor with me so I have to take advantage. Look for us on the next season of So You Think You Can Dance (which apparently we do when we have the beer goggles on!).




As you can see, Keith really likes headbanger music....maybe a little too much.



The weekend wasn't all adult fun though. On Friday, we took Will to the Hawkeye Greyhound picnic where he experienced his first taste of cotton candy. He wasn't sure what to think at first...



But he quickly realized that he liked it and wanted more. He would have licked the cardboard stick clean if we'd let him!



Luckily for us, the purple stain came off easily and the sugar high didn't last too long!
