Well, Brandon went to his first Junior Prom dance a few weeks ago. This is a picture of him before he went to pick up his date. He asked a girl named Katelyn Wright. Of course, she lives on the East side, so I didn't get to see them together before the big event....real bummer! But what a handsome boy! (And I love all my "smiley's" in the background)... :)
Here is the flower/wrist corsage for Brandon's date....
This is actually a "picture" of the dance pictures...does that make sense? This is the group Brandon went with. Brandon and Katelyn are in the front, just to the right of the center couple. Her dress was maroon.
So beautiful!
These next few pictures are just ones that Brandon took on his phone....so they're not great. The bigger I blow them up, the more "grainy" they are.
Another one from Brandon's phone....taken at the Capital building. Gosh, I still remember my junior prom when I went to the dance at the Capital. In some ways, it seems like yesterday, in others, it's been a LONG time! I'll have to see if I can find a picture of me and Todd at our Junior Prom (our Senior year)...that would be hilarious! (Kind of like a photo bomb to our son! HA!)
These days when the kids go to the school dances, it's a "full day" event." On this particular date (February 8), Katelyn and another one of her friends had a dance recital during the day, lasting until close to 6:00 in the evening. So in order to stay true to the traditions, Brandon and his other friend took their dates to play laser tag and went to dinner on Friday, the day before the actual dance was scheduled (Feb. 7).
Apparently a bunch of other kids went and did the activity with them also on Friday night. Brandon said it was tons of fun. And then he and his friend (and their dates) went to Olive Garden for dinner. The next day, the day of the dance, Brandon picked up Katelyn and they only had time to go to the capital for pictures and have a few dances. Afterwards, they went out to Cold Stone for an ice cream treat. I think a lot of his friends did that also.
Brandon said the evening (and the day before) was a huge success!!! Way to go Brandon. I'm glad you had fun at your Jr. Prom! Now please stop growing up so fast! :)
