So... My sister calls me up one day and says "don't plan anything Wed. afternoon, I have something I want to do for you and Patrick". She wanted it to be a surprise but did give some hints. Like:
*wear socks
*the kids will be there for the first part
*it doesn't involve food
*its not really a pampering activity
*you may or may not feel like going running after your done
So Wed. afternoon she picked us up and still didn't tell us what we were doing. She wanted to blindfold us on the way there, but that would have ruined the whole surprise because we both would have just thrown up everywhere due to extreme car sickness. Surprise! Your covered in vomit!
The whole sock thing made me guess things like Ice Skating. Bowling. A giant game of who can create the most static electricity. But it wasn't any of those things.
It was dancing.
She got us a giftcard for 2 free dance lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studio. Not
that that's not a great gift, cause it is, but its probably not the best gift to surprise someone with. There was no time to prepare any type of pep talk to those of us who needed it. But it was ok. It was a 20 minute lesson where we learned how to do the Foxtrot, Rumba, and Swing. Not like pro's, but we learned basic steps. We looked good. We looked like this-
