Daddy/Daughter Dance







Baylee and Daddy had a very special night that will last in both of their minds and hearts for a very long time. The Girl Scouts hosted a Daddy/Daughter dance at Trilogy's Country Club in Queen Creek. They had professional photography, a Hawaiian catered dinner, dancing with a d.j. at hand, and lots and lots and lots of F-U-N!

Jon treated Baylee like a princess by really focusing on “just her” as well as opening doors, pulling out chairs, etc. Because of his example, she knows very well how a man should treat a lady! They both began the date a few nights early when they went shopping to find Jon a matching shirt and tie to her borrowed dress (thank you Shealeigh). Then the “Date” began with the exchange of a corsage and boutonniere that matched their ensemble of pale pink.

Baylee loved how silly her daddy was on the dance floor when it was the daddy’s turn to do the limbo. Jon, of course, got the whole crowd into his turn as he gently demanded them to push the “bar” down quite a bit. The room exploded with cheers and high fives as he accomplished his mission. Baylee was grinning from ear to ear! Baylee and Daddy danced the night away with over 100 other couples, doing all styles (line dancing, chicken dance, the twist) and ending it with a slow dance of “Butterfly kisses” (which yes…got Jon and the other dad’s choked up!).

Jon’s already marking next year’s dance on his calendar. There wouldn’t be much that could keep him away from taking his beloved daughter out again.

(I’m sure many are curious how we got so many photos of the night. Well, I had “kitchen duty” which allowed me to sneak out to take a few pictures here and there. I’ll volunteer any time to be an observer of this date. I wonder if I can observe all of Baylee’s dates, up close and personal. LoL)
