After we presented Ben with his diploma, we had about an hour of dancing. We mostly did line dances, but some of Ben's ballroom dancing companions were there and so we threw in a swing dance. We also played "Thriller" because one of the younger kids can dance just like Michael Jackson and he got up and put on a show for everyone (I was busy, and completely missed getting a video of that!). Last but not least, we did the Virginia Reel, because it is so much fun and everyone can do it. We had someone teach everyone how to do it, then ran through it one time, then had each group race to see who could finish it the fastest. It's a LOT of fun!
Ben went camping with his youth group this weekend. He said it was the best weekend he's had since we've been in Hawaii, and possibly in his entire life. The one negative part was that he stepped on some coral out in the water and cut his feet up pretty good. He swears it was all dead coral - you shouldn't touch live coral, much less walk on it because it damages the coral. No one ever mentions that it also damages your feet. They just tell you not to damage the coral. Also, coral is a living organism . If you step on live coral and a tiny piece breaks off in the cut, it will continue to grow. Did you see the movie Alien ? If some creature incubates in Ben's feet, then breaks out and eats us all one night, I'm going to be quite miffed. (Make sure you read the inscription on his tee shirt in this picture. It's quite appropriate.)
