Spring Fling

This is the last date dance of the year and both Michael and Katie went. Here is Michael and his date Keri Erdmann for the "day date" part. They went to Comedy Sportz and then for shakes after on Friday night. I may get pictures later of Michael's group. There were somewhere around 12 or more couples, Michael wasn't sure. Katie's group didn't have a separate day date, but went to the park and played games before a BBQ at our house.

About a year and a half ago our whole extended Abbott family went to Hawaii for 2 weeks at Christmas for Chuck and Oranee's 50th anniversary. Just before we went, we bought fabric to make Katie a Hawaiian dress for the vacation. Well, being a month before Christmas we didn't find time to actually make the dress. We had started cutting out the pieces but nothing was sewn. The theme for this dance was surf's up so Katie wanted to finally make the dress. We procrastinated once again and found ourselves sewing on Saturday. We finished in time, though, and she got to wear it. We both took turns doing different parts and got it done together.

Almost done!

Here are Katie and Ben Cookson at the park for pictures.

The dress turned out great! These are the kids in Katie's group. Being that none of them have their driver's licenses yet, Nelson and I drove the crew all around, back and forth for the night.

All 24 plus kids in Michael's group had different color t-shirts with their date's names on the back. Michael and Keri's color was white. I can't wait to see the pictures of the whole group!

After the dance, they came to our house again for tiki torches, campfire and s'mores! What fun!
