Paco was excited to attend a really amazing event this weekend! His Aunt got married and he took a trip to be there with his family and friends. Have you ever been to a wedding? This was Paco’s first time. There was a delightful little ceremony where they gave each other rings. They also made promises to last a lifetime. It was very special. Then the party really started. They had some delicious food and they danced. They danced a lot. It was the most Paco has ever danced at one time. There must be something with celebrating that gets people dancing. Paco showed off some dance moves from the series The Lion Guard from Disney Junior. It’s especially fitting for a bird but fun for everyone to try!
