10 Stake Youth Dance

Last night there was a 10 stake youth dance in Lynnwood that Mackenzie went to. She invited her friend Heidi over before the dance so they could get all dolled up together. Steve took some fun pictures of them getting ready. There were hair dryers, flat irons, curler, make-up, hairspray, lip gloss, nail polish and jewelry strewn all over the bathroom. It seriously looked like a tornado had blown through the bathroom but it was just all the "necessities" that these two girls needed to make themselves up for the dance! As you can see from the pictures they had a lot of fun getting ready together.
Check out that bathroom counter!
Steve and I drove a car full of kids to the dance. After we picked up the last friend and before we got to the dance we went through the drive-thru at Wendy's and bought hamburgers, french fries and frosties for all the kids. It was quite an adventure having 6 very excited youth in the car with us. It reminded Steve and I of all the fun times we had as youth going to the church dances.
When we dropped the kids off at the dance they had one of those big search lights waving across the sky. The kids got a big kick out of that and wanted their picture by it. There were 545 kids in attendance at the dance. Mackenzie said it was a lot of fun and they can't wait until June when they have another 10 stake youth dance. What a great activity for these kids to go to last night.

Looks and sounded like a totally fun dance. It probably took hours to get all fancied up too. We are still trying to get Trevor to go to those dances. He is shy and needs more invites from friends at church. Hopefully one day. You had a great bunch of youth with you though. Fun Times~
