Prom for Mark

Best group of boys!!

Mark and his friends decided to go to Prom. Mark asked someone from his seminary class. His poster said "I'd be Soda-lighted if you'd go to Prom with me." He and his friends had a huge poster making party at our house! Then they drove around town and secretly delivered them together.

A week later, she responded with a fun "pop" themed poster. Mark had to pop the balloons to find the answer. Luckily, it was YES!

Mark's poster! He surrounded it with a bunch of soda cans when he dropped it off.

The response! (Why you gotta pose like that?)

The group decided to go to the Tulip Festival for their day date. It was beautiful weather and they had fun doing the scavenger hunt. They enjoyed walking around the flowers, which were blooming pretty well. Afterward they went to get ice cream at Froyo.

Mom was disappointed by the number of pictures Mark took.

Mark came home for a little bit before he had to head out for pictures. So far, all of his dates have worn something where he wears a pink tie. And his gray suit looks fantastic with the pink hues, so it has worked out well.

Mark is all ready to go!

Mark is growing up!

We are so proud of Mark.

Mark's favorite pic from Prom.

They went back to Thanksgiving Point for pictures before heading to dinner at Tucanos. Everyone had a great time and there were a bunch of Prom groups! They ate a lot of meat and a lot of pineapple. Mark had fun driving with his date and one of his good friends.

Paige's dad sent us a few pics, which was so nice of him.

They had matching flowers!

Such a cute couple.

After dinner they headed to the dance for a little bit. It was also at Thanksgiving Point (so they spent a lot of time there). Mark said they had the best DJ ever, so it was a lot of fun. They went to Will's house after the dance to hang out until curfew. They had s'mores and watched a movie and came home very late.
