This is Sam's first official date. He went to Prom with a girl named Chelsea. She is a senior and was very persistant in getting Sam to go to Prom with her. They went as friends. I'm glad Sam went. He said he was happy he went too. The Prom is a 2 week experience here in small town Utah. They spend 2 weeks decorating the gym, practicing the promanade dance, etc. The day of prom starts around 8:00 am. They go and do fun activities during the day and then the dance at night. Parents and families are invited and encourage to go. They annouce each junior student with their name and names of their parents, similar to a "debutante ball" The girls are escorted across the bridge. Sam was one of the "helpers" to lend a hand to the girls as they cross the bridge. They have more boys than girls in the Junior class of 35 students! After the presentation of the students they have a promanade dance. I tried taking pictures but it was too dark and Sam wasn't dancing...again more boys than girls. He wasn't disappointed though! He was content to watch. Then they had a parent dance where the junior students dances with their mother/father. It was so much fun. Talk about Prom flashback! I wasn't going to let Sam wear his orange Texas Longhorn tie but he told me Chelsea's dress was orange so he got to wear it. He was too late to get a tux so he just wore his suit.
