Senior Prom

Brandt and Ruth attended Prom today. I suggested they go to dinner at Happy Sumo because I thought Brandt liked sushi, but I led them astray. He doesn't like it. Ruth likes sushi, however, so she was happy with the choice.

I took cute pictures of them outside in the front yard and they went off to the dance. 

Lucky for those of us coming to watch our young people promenade, the promenade was held in the gym which was decorated with a Parisian theme. It was cold outside, threatening rain, and I was glad we had someplace warm to sit. Unluckily for those attending Prom, the dance portion was being held outside, on the football field, where it was threatening rain. I told Kent I thought it was crazy to have promenade inside and the dance outside when it was so cold and likely to be miserable. And what about the DJ's equipment? Not every parent thinks about the DJ equipment, but I do!

Kent and I were delighted when Brandt and Ruth promenaded early on. They were maybe the fourth or fifth couple to come down the red carpet. I took pictures, we cheered them on, then we went home. 

As we left Timpview, I said to Kent, "It's going to rain. What are they going to do about this dance being outside?" It was chilly, too! We made a brief stop at Day's Market on the way home, and while we were inside, my weather prediction came to pass. It had begun to rain. I looked at Kent, he looked at me, and we both shrugged our shoulders.

Because Brandt and Ruth were early promenaders, when it began to rain, they were out on the field already. Brandt, feeling for the DJ and his equipment, helped him move all his stuff into the south gym. Brandt helped him set up again, get music going again, and then stayed for a dance. That's right, one slow dance and Brandt and Ruth went home. Brandt said he had a good time and was glad they went to Prom.
