Mike - Senior Prom

Senior Prom is a nostalgic time for seniors.  It is their last formal High School dance.  Students begin reflecting on what has been, and what is yet to come.  Many girl's save each corsage, reminiscing about their high school dance experiences.  Guy's, while a little sentimental, begin thinking about graduating and immediately leaving for 2 years on missions.  Yes, it's a rather reflective time.

Thank heaven for sisters!  Mike's choice of tux did not meet mine or Kate's approval.  With 20 minutes before closing the night before, we exchanged some of this clothing choices.  Black and white stripped shoes, "clown shoes", as Kate and I called them, was one of the few items exchanged. Phew!

Mike's dance group went to Fastkart in SL for their "day date", which was held the night before prom.  Fastkart is a facility where you experience a real speedway with two indoor Go Kart Road courses.  To begin with, each participate was given an attractive hair-net to wear under their helmet to avoid any scalping.  The group enjoyed flaunting their new hair-dos.  The kids had a blast racing against each other,  as the boys' politely (as they put it),"let the girl's win".

Kate had everything set out for Mike on the day of Prom down to what watch to wear. He looked very handsome! His date, Brynn Mortensen, looked gorgeous!  What a fabulous couple!

They began the evening dining at the Rodizio Grill.  The Rodizio Grill offers over a dozen rotisserie grilled meats, perfectly seasoned and carved table side by Brazilian Gauchos.  The girl's were very good sports.  They graciously ate every kind of meat that the boys' did, which included bizare choices such as rattlesnake meat, and chicken hearts.

The dance was held at The Davis Conference Center, where they danced the night away.

They finished the night off with swimming, movies, dessert, and fun at Zac Muri's house.  It was a cold night, but kids will be kids, and swimming was a hit.  It wasn't until days later they realized the pool's clorine count was a little high.  Some girl's hair changed colors, and others had to get their hair trimmed (only about 4 inches), while others had their swim suit color change from black to brown.  Oops!

They had a wonderful time, Mike's date, Brynn Mortensen, was gorgeous and fun!  What a great night!

as I was scrolling down looking at he pictures - I saw a girl in a dress and make-up and quickly assumed that was his date. I thought "such a weird prom dress, I really don't know the styles right now" - ha ha - it was Lizzy in her dance costume.
