Dianna's Creches and Christian Art

While at the Normans I took a few pictures of some of their art.  This is just a sample.  Some of it is very good.  Of course this is mostly creche exhibits at this time of year.

Virginia Reel: Manteca Stake Handcart Trek 2015

The Virginia Reel is not my favorite dance, because the lead couple is very busy, but everyone else mostly just stands an watches until their turn comes.  Of course everyone gets to be the lead couple if you dance long enough.  In this dance everyone showed lots of enthusiasm and energy with clapping and doing the twirl when it was your turn.  This is Friday night, after a hearty supper and good spirits.  This followed eight miles of hiking with handcarts.

Oh Susana: Manteca Stake Handcart Trek 2015

I sat under a tree and watched as the young people took part in square dancing.  I really like
Oh Susana" and there was lots of enthusiasm.  As you watch my film, most of the groups caught on pretty well, but one group everyone seemed to have two left legs as after the hand swinging thingy it never worked out quite right.  The guys and girls were always running to get back together.  Maybe that is part of the fun.
