Irish dancing

Tonight was some really unexpected fun. We met up with Willa and Pat at the Irish Pub in town because they had their live Irish music from 5-7. I've only gone once in the past and thought it was so unique and was thrilled that I could take all the boys back. Patrick got there first and found a table right in the front which worked out well because it was easy access to the pool table (which Ty enjoyed) and the ramp to another hang out room. The pub became crowded with lots of other families and the music was just fantastic! I LOVE Irish music and to hear it coming from a live band makes it even better. It's also so neat because the "band" is pretty much a group of friends who are having a bit of a jam session and we get to benefit from it. Everyone is laughing and the entire place feels like a big family. People were playing with Tyler and Matty, the food was good, and it was such a unique experience for us. By far the most exciting part of the night was right after two girls did some great Irish dancing, Tyler popped on stage and wanted to dance too. At first I wasn't sure if he was allowed but then everyone was smiling and cheering for him and clapping along to the music. Maybe a year ago he would have gotten too shy and run off stage, but the more people were cheering him on the more he smiled and danced. It was hilarious and the most precious few minutes. He was dancing all around and moving his head this way and that and at the end of the song he took a bow and it just cracked me up. Adam seemed to especially enjoy himself and couldn't believe something like this is in Lebanon and that it's taken us this long to come and enjoy it. I have a feeling we'll be back for some more fun times and hopefully dancing.
