dance parties

 The girls have so much fun in our bonus room/toy room.  Their most favorite activity is definitely "dance party."  It is so much fun to watch and it has been a great way for the girls to get their energy out this winter.

 Dance parties usually involve Heidi running around in circles and Savanna spinning in circles until she is so dizzy she is running into everything.  The circles usually turn into break dancing moves and somersaults.  Savanna of course tries to mimic these and it's very comical.

 Savanna also spends a good chunk of the dance party climbing on whatever she can find.

 But all that climbing, spinning and break dancing can get pretty exhausting so she has to take a break from time to time.

 Heidi also practices her actual dance moves from her class, but she really prefers to just do her own thing and say, "look at this cool move I made up."  They are usually pretty sweet new moves like hopping one foot or lifting one leg high in the air.  She's pretty talented.

 Sometimes dance parties turn into obstacle courses where the girls roll in the mud under the coloring table.

 Then they have to run as fast as they can to the river under the foosball table to get clean before embarking on the journey of jumping over the crocodile in the middle of the room.

 Savanna may be small, but she keeps up with Heidi.

Once Savanna has had all the obstacle course/dance party fun she can handle, she tends to fix us a nice snack.  Well, until she decides to start shaking the kitchen as hard as she can until it falls on top of her.

It's just downhill from there because Heidi will have just organized the kitchen and it's traumatic for her and being trapped under the kitchen can be a little traumatic for Savanna too.

But then we get it all cleaned up and start the music again and everyone seems to forget as we go for dance party round 2.

We sure are glad we have such a fun toy room...especially in the winter.
