Hoop dancing is all the rage these days, and Jo ordered herself a nice hoop to play with, which we did before hopping in the car to the airport. I wasn't very good at hula hoops when I was a kid and I haven't magically improved with age, but it sure was fun to get out in the yard and try.
For much more impressive and skillful hoop dancing, see these videos:

Fun! Helen and I have a nice one we keep in the closet for playing with in the living room. It's got a little bit of water in it, which helps balance. I can hoop around my neck pretty well, arms, and sometimes waist! It's a challenge, for sure. Lots of laughs. Looks like you both had a good time with it.
