Happy New Year

We had a fun New Years Eve.
We went to the Willowbrook Ballroom where they had a live band, dancing and balloon drop.
It was so much fun. We danced all night. We gave up on travelling dances like the waltz and foxtrot as couples kept stopping in front of us. It became more of an effort of steering around people than dancing. So any song we could do the swing to we did.

The night went by so fast. We shared our table with a couple who had been going to the Willowbrook off & on for 40 years. They were fun to talk to.

The Willowbrook was also one of the places that ABC channel 7 had a live feed from 11-midnight.
Most of the time the camera was focus on the host, Janet Davies. But occasionally the camera swept the dance floor. Our niece, Shannon thought she saw us.

There were balloons in nets all along the ceiling. Every so often, there would be a loud bang as one popped from the heat of the lights. At midnight, all the balloons dropped and everyone immediately started stepping on them, including us. The noise was deafening! But so much fun!
