Fobs At Heart

We're fobs because we went to our ward conference dance. Lol. Because that's what our parents did growing up and are still doing. Dancing. It's the only ward activity Tongans know how to do. They get excited and plan their matching aloha outfits. I'm having major flashbacks of my childhood right now! I know all of you who grew up in Tongan wards are having flashbacks too!

The last dance Vili and I went to was the New Year's Eve dance in 2011 going into 2012 and before that was probably back in 2009. Our side steps just don't cut it anymore so we stay far away from church dances. Lol. We'd much rather go to eat or watch a movie. So who would've thought that we would have had so much fun last Friday? And actually, who would've thought we'd actually go at all? Not me, that's for sure.

It all happened when we went to the chapel on Thursday night to help Siosi and Mepa set up for the dance. The music was blasting and Elina and Talanoa were having fun running around. I started to think that maybe we should take them. I mentioned it to Vili that night and got brushed off like always but persistence is key. Lol I asked again when I got home from work on Friday and Vili lovingly obliged after trying to bribe me with Tucanos instead. Lol! So glad we went! The kids had a blast dancing the night away and so did we. Vili even slow danced with me and it was his idea! I'm happy to pass down these fob memories to my girls. It kind of feels like I'm sharing a piece of my childhood with them.

Thanks to Elisha and Ikani for all the pics!
