Did you have fun with the extra day in 2016? Tomorrow comes March and there are so many great things to do around the South Sound with your family as you eagerly anticipate Spring’s arrival.
Take your Daughter Dancing!
There are two awesome Daddy Daughter Dances in March. If you’ve got a daughter that is strong in the Force, you won’t want to miss Lakewood’s Star Wars Father Daughter Dance on Saturday, March 12. If your daughter is more of the princess variety, check out Tacoma’s Cinderella Ball on Saturday, March 5. Find all the details for these dances on our South Sound Daddy Daughter Dances post.
