B-I-N-G-O night.... Clogger style!

Our not-so-little dance team has HUGE plans for 2013
Multiple out of town shows/workshops/competitions = big costs!!
Our favorite fund-raiser....
Bingo.... Bingo.... Bingo!!
I cannot think of a more fun way to spend a Friday night.... Really!

And, thankfully, 150 of our clogger family/friends agree.


Guests were greeted at the door by the Liana and Leigh Ann duo.
(Holly's and Olivia3's moms)
The brains behind the whole thing

They spent weeks collecting $$$ and planning the night
And figuring out who ordered what

Pre-paid folks had coupons waiting - good for pizza/hot dogs

Mia's Pa-pa (Richard) almost didn't get passed security. Lol

Olivia1 and Kelly picking out their food!


The little ones had the back room to themselves... Movie night!


A bingo table was primed and ready to go....
As demonstrated by Bri and Lora.


So were Olivia3, Lindsay, Brianna, and Erica.

Carmen, one of our callers, was the one we really needed ready.

Becky's mom, Mary, with Kathy and Les (a fellow clogger himself)

Sammy at the kitchen entryway.... Serving dinner?


Becky and (my little one) Paige-- sporting her new short(er) hair

Lora, Kathy, Becky, Jeff and Bri.
(Zazz events in the house!!!!)

Becky cooking??? A rare sight indeed!

An upcoming birthday weekend didn't stop Stephanie

Bingo all set.... Now just need players to arrive.

These three were privately celebrating Harry Styles' birthday.
If you have to ask who he is.... You may be living under a rock.

And here we are.... Me and Lani, ready to play


Meredith and Sunshine


Soon... All the tables were full and the night began.


10 games.... 10 winners!


The night couldn't have happened with some really dedicated moms 
Carmen (Bri's mom)


Liana (Holly's mom)


Leigh Ann (Olivia3's mom)


Best part of the night, was noticing how everyone stayed to help with the cleanup!!

It was a group effort.... Really.

All said.... It was a great success!
We raised some $$$, but (more importantly) bonded together.
This team is an awesome family.

2 shows = all day fun (January 2013)

The South Florida Cloggers had a month (almost) of rest to celebrate the holidays and welcoming 2013.
Practices restarted and poor Becky has been kicked into high gear.
Here is the morning kid pick up... Gathering kids is always time-consuming.
Becky and Lora (with Bri, Meredith, and Holly)

Our first performances of 2013 were last weekend.
The morning show was at Sun Life Stadium.... Dan Marino's autism walk

The group was asked to arrive as a team.... Easy enough.
The waiting-for-everyone-to -arrive time is always a great pic taking time.


If the yellow line was a good line-up spot... Things were going great. Maybe this was keeping Jessica W. awake, in the back.
(it WAS an early morning call)

Bri and Olivia3... Always ready to say Cheese.
They are cousins... It must be the genes.

The group.... Looking great everyone.


Meredith... Time for the shoes


We need to take a break... To point out Bri's ability to properly photo-bomb everyone around her.
(Sammy....)

As the team paused to take individual photos...
Did any of the notice that Bri was lurking in the background?


You can decide for yourselves.
(Danielle... Just posing... Unaware)


(Taliah.... So cute.... Clueless about what's behind her?)


(Stephanie, Vinny, Meredith, Lindsay and Holly)

Maybe Sammy had an idea here... Those cousins are too funny!!

Performing..... Finally.

The team was allowed to roam free on the football field.


And got to have a little fun



April is one of the few members small enough for Danielle to carry.


And who can be on a field without posing for a little football?
(pointing out.... Bri, of course)


Hut... Hut...

Another group gathering....

Next up..... Lunch out at Flashback Diner (Davie)

Where the menus had silly stickers....
Becky was wondering if anyone noticed something different.


But... They did.
Sierra
Taliah
Meredith
Bri

Stephanie
Lora
Holly
Sally
Danielle

Me-ma's ketchup.... And the waiter's salt...
Calling Becky's maple syrup, please!

What's lunch without a dance or two??


Next up.... Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital event.

Becky introduces her special super-star, April.

Beautiful weather for an outdoor show.

Get to work, Bri!

The afternoon ended with a snow-cone treat.
(Lora's may have been sour?)
Can you think of a better way to finish a show?

Thanks for looking!!
Had our 2nd BINGO night last night!
(photos coming soon)
