Karaoke

As I said before, we are not a family of singers. With the exception of my mom and nieces, none of us have good voices. I'm not being modest, just truthful. People will say, 'Oh, I'm sure you can sing.' Well, of course I can sing, I just can't sing well. There's a HUGE difference. Anyway, we knew that they always have a karaoke night at the ranch where we were going. Last year, when we saw 'Mamma Mia', my sisters and I decided that we would do a song from that. We had big plans for costumes, dance moves, etc. Fast forward a year, and the reunion was coming quickly and we had done nothing to prepare. At one of our recent get-togethers, most of our siblings were sounding pretty negative about the whole singing thing. So, we took it upon ourselves to start things off. We practiced our dancing at camp and made a quick trip to DI for our fabulous outfits. It worked. We started things off, and everyone, having seen us throw our dignity to the wind, followed. Almost everyone sang, (My brother-in-law even sang a solo. He doesn't have our genes and can actually carry a tune.)
Adam, Jake, Uncle Jerry and Brent (cousin) singing 'Salty Dog'.

Sadie and her cousin, Lexi, sang 'Do Your Ears Hang Low'.

Spencer and Brodie with their rendition of 'Help'.

This is the crowd's reaction to our number. Not sure if it's a compliment that they were almost rolling in the aisles. But, it was what we wanted- FUN.

The four 'Dancing Queens'. I'm not sure if you can make out the frosty blue eyeshadow, but it was a big part of the look. The choreography was fabulous, if I do say so, but, I don't think the Jazz dancers will be calling anytime soon.
