Well togue ceremony is one thing but prom night is
another !
I won’t say much and let the pictures do the talking
but just a few highlights:
- was so fun to see Bear
all dressed up and his big bro helping him with finishing touches with
music blaring
- big photo shoot we did
before he left and did
came too
- bears girlfriend
Catherine is not at same school so bear took a very close friend as his
date
- There was a cocktail
organized by the parents of one of Bears close friends and over 40
graduates and their parents were invited to their beautiful home on the lake
pre prom from 3-6pm. They had it catered and tents and everything! A
professional photographer. Was so incredibly generous of them
- Was so fun seeing all of
Bears friends so fancy and gorgeous. He has a HUGE group of friends boys and
girls and all so close and connected
- It was almost time for
the kids to leave for prom at 5:30pm and about 9 boys went out to the dock.
We were just about to take a picture as reminded us of the pre wedding
scene from mama mia with the tuxedos and suits and corsages and lake and
mountain background..... and then !!!!!!!! .....
THE DOCK COLLAPSED AND BROKE !!!!!
WITH ALL OUR BOYS ON IT . FULLY EMERGED IN THE LAKE
And yes of course our boy was on that dock and in
the lake . Has he ever not been where friends and action are ?
Silence for many moments as a hundred people watched
from the horrifying sidelines
Blow drying shoes , suits in dryers ! Prom boys in
nothing but underwear. Minutes before prom! Grad gifts of watches ruined . All
cell phones ruined . Disaster. Nobody knew whether to laugh or cry .
We were just thankful was the boys and not the girls
!
And still of course very first world problems!
Bear
found this all hysterically funny until he realized his cell phone was finished
. That he bought with his hard earned money and researched for months.
So they were all damp and late for prom and pants a
bit shorter from dryer but went to prom
We went out with three other couples for dinner and
talked mostly about this crazy event!
- No boys except one from
our gang had cells so was a worrisome night with no sleeps as they only of
course came home at 7:30am the next morning. Prom then after prom then all
night poutine place and then watching sunrise at mountain
- Then home for sleep 4
hrs like a literal zombie. Then up and packed for grad camping trip night!
- Then home for 2.5 hrs
and left for summer for lifeguard job at a sleepover camp! ( will be home
32 hrs a week some weeks )
And that was grad 2017! I am not sure any of us can
forget it! That i image of the dock collapsing and all the proudly dressed boys
for prom in lake will be with me forever.
