Another World Record Attempt!

Not quite the world’s longest chorus line.

But we had FUN!! Not only did we score these awesome “I ♥NY” T-shirts, we got to dance to the tune from those “I Love New York” TV commercials from the 70’s. (Some of us are actually old enough to remember those.)

The Girl isn’t loving the snack I packed to sustain her.

Thanks to our “team” who came out to dance with us, including Matt’s mom Linda, my friend Fiona and her son, and my blogging buddy Sandra and her son!

On our Facebook page, some of you requested video. Let me just say…this was much more complicated than the Hokey Pokey we did last year!

    […] take on a Guinness Book World Record. We joined our friend Traci, of GoBigorGoHomeBlog.com, for an attempt at the world’s longest chorus line. Now Traci and her posse in Poughkeepsie do things big; last year, they had no problem conquering […]
