The Prom

Saturday was the big day! Cari and Trevon both went to their High School Prom. Cari's date began in the early afternoon. Beginning at the park, her group went on a scavenger hunt using GPS to locate their lunch (sandwiches). Then, they played ultimate frisbee. Next, they went to the Wixom's to play the game "Apples to Apples" before returning home to get ready for the evening. Her dress was a very good color for her. I was happy we were able to style her hair relatively quickly but nicely too!

Trevon and his group of friends took their dates to "Laser Mania" to play 3-D Mini Golf and a game of laser tag during the day.

That evening, they went to the Olive Garden for dinner. We had made arrangements ahead of time to have Trevon's name placed on the waiting list. As they arrived, another prom group waiting to get into the restaurant warned them of a VERY LONG wait. Trevon walked into the restaurant and workers immediately asked him if he was Trevon Beutler (they were expecting him). He was given a pager, and about five minutes later his group was seated. The other group that was waiting couldn't believe their eyes as they walked past them to be seated. Some literally had their mouths drop open in disbelief, thinking it was unfair they were seated so quickly and ahead of them too. Trevon thought it was pretty cool to get right in. We were thankful that the management at the Olive Garden were kind enough to put their names on the waiting list, as the night was a special one for them. After dinner, they went to the dance at the Bell Tower in St. George. Just before midnight they returned to our home for some ice cream. We set out bananas and vanilla ice cream and the boys provided various toppings for their treat. It was fun to hear about their night and they all seemed to have a very good time together.

Mike took this picture after the kids' dates were over. They were pretty tired, but both happy about their day.
