Soon after the first dance and father-daughter dance ended, everyone was on the dance floor. One of our friends is a square-dance “caller”, meaning he calls the next move at square dance events, so thanks to him, everyone was having a blast dosey-doe-ing.

Three generations of Cowboy Boot women in action.

Right about here, someone stepped on my dress and ripped my bustle. The J. Crew belt saved me–I just tucked my train in.

Yep, that’s leap frog

Swirling in my dress was too much fun.

I called in all my bridesmaid and felt like Queen Bee with fairies dancing around me.

It was one of the most fun moments of my life.
