A welcome back hot dog dinner and dance!

In addition to Pizza Hut and Einstein Bros. Bagels on Carl's birthday, our resort, Encore Venture In, had a "Welcome back!" hot dog dinner and dance with live music scheduled!

The Rec Hall was pretty packed -- it took a while for everyone to get through the line.

The live band was playing during the time we were eating, which made it pretty loud and hard to chat with other folks at the table.

We heard from other residents in the park that this was the first time the management had done anything like this - we think that the plan had been to have the eating outside, but it was too warm for that. So, tables were set up for eating where dancing would normally happen...

... but once everyone was done with eating, tables were moved out to the side and we were able to do some line dancing and some Arizona two-stepping.

Carl said that it was awfully nice that the park provided him a hot dog dinner and dance on his birthday!
