Andrea's Dinner Dance

So I thought that I would post a few pictures from Andrea's work dinner dance this past weekend.  Her branch was hosting a charity ball in Payson. There wasn't a huge turnout but it was a lot of fun.  Dick Chappel, the VP for Andrea's bank (Chappel sound familiar? Yup he's a Wayne County Chappel. I don't know if I'm spelling it right.) Anyway, he has this really cool 'Big Band' group called Mississippi Mud. Reed said that he and some old military buddies were stationed in Mississippi during WWII which is when they got the band started. They reconnected years later and have been playing ever since. They were really good and it made for some fun dancing. As a side note, I am amazed at Reed's ability to hear and remember these random old stories about people. I think Dick did some kind of announcement but seriously, get Reed around someone with some kind of story and they tell him. Don't believe me, ask him about the homeless man he walked around with down at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. Back to the story at hand, sorry the pictures aren't the greatest. Apparently my phone does not do so well with action shots. :(  Enjoy!


Here  is dad dancing with Chris Jennings, who works in the AF branch. She is pretty much Andrea, just at the Walmart up there. 

Here are Mom and Dad dancing to the final song, Goodnight Sweetheart. 
Here are Andrea and some random guy that works for the bank doing the Tango. Casey had to go in to work to get ready for the big Thanksgiving rush that is coming and Dick dedicated the tango to Andrea. Dad gracefully backed out (A.k.a hands in the air going 'oh no. I don't tango. Don't look at me to dance with you.) So Andrea had to round up someone to dance with.
Here are Reed and I sitting out the fast ones. His back wasn't up for all that hopping and swinging. Though he did threaten to do 'the worm' but I told him if he tried and ended up back in the hospital I would write my insurance and tell them not to pay the 40K for back surgery again because he was stupid and deserves it.  Just kidding hon. But seriously no more 40K surgeries okay?
Here are Dad and Click dancing up a storm. I don't think I have ever seen someone so tiny and, well, old (Sorry Click) dance so well or so fast. She was like a little jitter bug who wouldn't stay still.  It was great. 
Here are Casey and Chris (mentioned earlier) dancing. I came late so I didn't get any of Casey and Andrea and he had to leave shortly after I got there. 
Anyway, that is all. Hope that you enjoyed the blurry pictures!
