Katrina, Brad & Melissa's Senior Prom - And Afterwards

The plan was that they were going to attend the prom for a while, then head out to the beach for a couple hours afterwards. Unfortunately, the weather started to turn for the worst, so instead, they stopped by the house and we went out for a midnight breakfast.

Here is a picture of the couple after Bradley dressed in his suit. I'm planning to use this photo as an image on their graduation cake.

At the prom and having a good time...

Awwww! Such a lovely couple...

Katrina & Melissa.

Melissa danced with Stewart, a gentleman she had met in middle school (note: this picture was extremely light and washed out, so the colorizing to restore the image with missing color information made her hair look red).

This is Kenya, one of Katrina's friends.

Every time Katrina turned around, somebody wanted to pose with the 'China Doll' (as she heard somebody call her). She must have had to pose like this about a dozen times, but she loved being the center of attention.

Yeah, they just couldn't believe she was there in a full-blown kimono....

Now, what does a muskovy duck have to do with the prom? Well, this Mama duck was trying to keep her ducklings safe as they were sleeping near the entrance to the Village Inn restaurant as we were stopping by at about 1 in the morning for breakfast.

Will you look at that? It looks like Bradley is wiped out, Katrina is fighting a migraine headache and Melissa is simply 'bugged out'...

As breakfast was continuing on, the stories about what was seen, said and done at the prom flew around the table.

And slowly, the early hours of the morning crept in around the fringes of their consciousness as they all started to doze in the restaurant...

And here we are, back to a 'before' picture, with all three of the revelers ready for the event before them. A striking contrast to the previous picture, huh?

Well, this part of the journey is now behind us as we work for the next series of events, that being Katrina's birthday, Brad and Kat's graduation party and the graduation ceremony each scheduled one day after the other and starting on the 30th... We've got lots of work still ahead of us.
