Prom

Carter went to his Junior Prom the first weekend in March with a friend here in our neighborhood who is also one of my Laurels! They had a VERY packed day that started at 7:30 in the morning! He picked her up and went over to a friends where their group was meeting up. Then they all climbed into a couple of cars and headed up to the Park City area where one of his friends has a cabin. They were able to enjoy the beautiful snow our state has to offer by going snowmobiling on their property there. It was Carter's first time doing it and he LOVED it, as did his date! In fact according to both of them she was the more aggressive driver! Honestly, I wasn't surprised! They had a lovely lunch at the cabin before heading back down to the valley to get into their spiffy clothes for dinner and the dance. Carter came home and relaxed for a while before finally getting in the shower to get ready. He picked out his Tuxedo, which was really cool, and looked awesome! He invited me to come with him (in separate cars of course) to pick her up so I could get some photos of them at her place before picking up her Mom to come with us to get group photos. They made a very cute couple! They looked amazing! We were able to snap some great photos of their group of 12 great looking kids before they headed out to Olive Garden for dinner. Then it was off to Rice Eccles Stadium at University of Utah for the dance. It was the first time they had been at a dance there and Carter said it was awesome! He really liked the venue and said the DJ was great. I am anxious to see their pictures because the pose they chose sounds....um....interesting! I'll try to post pictures of it on Facebook! After the dance they went to another friends house to watch a movie. All of the guys who planned this date had been working feverishly on a barn on the property. They cleaned out the loft area and added sofas and other decor along with a TV and DVD player so they could all go up there and watch the movie! The weather (sort of) cooperated given it's early March, but it was still quite cold! But they had fun anyway! It was a late night, but Carter said it was one of the funnest dances he had attended! I am so glad he had fun and was able to enjoy it with some of his closest friends! It's hard to believe the next Prom he will be attending will be his last.... yikes!
