Our church had a father daughter dance. From what I hear, they had dinner and then did some square dancing. However, Alison's ankle was still hurt (she fell down the stairs and badly sprained it), so she held a baby and Ben danced with another daughter...one dad had 5 girls with him!
This evening goes on the list of things we've learned about Long Island. We add something almost weekly and I hope to add some stories of examples. To us, this just seemed like a nice thing that the church was doing, but in fact, this is a Long Island tradition that pretty much every organization participates in. Apparently, the moms and sons are expected to help serve at the dinner (oops, I missed that boat and we were home watching a moving in our jammies) and the years alternate, so next year will be a mother son dance. Dinner is pretty much always the same pasta dish and a sausage Italian dish that I'm sure has a specific name.

Aw they look so good! I'm sorry about Alison's ankle, that's no fun at all.
