no stage fright here

This evening Mike's work had a great party down at the beach (the row of lights above and to the right are from the Oceanside pier). There was everything from street tacos to Italian ice, drinks for everyone, balloonists, airbrush tattoos and lots of fun things to do and see for everyone. About halfway through the evening some employees participated in an air band competition. Mike didn't get up on stage this year, but another one in our family did. Not Meredith as you might have guessed, but Thomas. Yes, Thomas! Maybe it's the superhero cape he's been wearing everywhere that gives him the confidence or maybe it's just one of those 4.5 year old things that happen all of a sudden, but he wanted to be onstage. When the kids started dancing onstage he immediately got our attention and said "I want to do that". He then jumped up and made a beeline for the stage. I'm not kidding. It was very out of character for him but so fun for Mike and I to see. In the photo above, Thomas and Mike are returning to where we are after Thomas' second time up on stage dancing like the silly kid he is.
