The Mike Dance

We have the most awesome neighbors down the street, Mike and Vicki. After meeting them, I quickly learned that Mike is not only 40-something years old, but a 8 year old boy, in a 40-something year old body.

He is hilarious with the kids. He and Tyler started this dancing thing last year - it was their "thing". Mike and Tyler would dance around the room like total maniacs, jumping up and down and waving their arms - busting a gut laughing.

Mike leaves for work every Saturday morning to head to the car dealership around 7:45am. Since we are up at that time (and have usually had breakfast, a snack, a pot of coffee, done a load of laundry, etc.), the boys started watching Mike leave.

As Mike opens the garage and backs out - they get so excited! He starts to head down the street to leave, and a few months ago, he began a routine where he would stop the car, and get out and dance.

The boys LIVE for this every Saturday morning. I have pictures of them standing at the door watching. They watch him from the back door and he dances. Then they run to the front window, and he does another dance out front.



I'm pretty sure the neighbors think he is totally insane (which is sort-of true!), but the boys LOVE THIS!

Thanks Mike! You make our Saturday mornings! (I got pictures of the dance yesterday, and was laughing so hard, I could hardly hold the camera!)
