The "Danceless Ball"

To celebrate birthdays of a couple of dear friends at the Training Center, we were invited to a formal "danceless ball" (or as the young men referred to it--the "guy-less prom"). We loved being able to dress up for an event...usually any formal event around here finds us donned in black and white or an apron and a hairnet. =)

Shiloh was the only young man present...he received lots of attention. ;-)

The Nelson ladies...and Shiloh =)

At one point we divided all of the girls into different teams to act out a skit using random words and items given to us...

Lovely weather for a sled ride...

An adventure on Mount Everest...well, almost

Almost at the peak...

We were invited to a friend's birthday party while in PA...we'll let you guess the theme. Let's just say that this is probably the only time you'd ever see any of us dressed this way. ;-)
