Puttin' on the ritz

After posting the Morp photos I realized I hadn't posted about Prom yet... so here goes.

One day Lisa found a bowl of Easter eggs on our porch.  It turned out to be an invitation to Prom.

Following the Easter/chicken theme, Lisa responded with some cute chicken feet cutouts.  (It was cuter than it sounds... but I didn't get a photo.)

Here are some pictures of the Big Event.

The group took pictures at Ted Johnson's place.  It just so happened his old Model T was out, which made a nice prop.

Lisa and Miho, her friend from Japan.

Lisa hamming it up.

Yumiko made the boutonniere.  It turned out very nice.

More mugging for the camera.

The students at the school nominate candidates for Prom royalty and then vote on them... and Lisa came out as first runner-up for Prom Princess!  Doesn't she look regal?

(Don't) Kiss the girl

Last weekend was "Morp," a casual girl-ask-guy dance at the high school that's kind of the opposite of Prom (thus the name...).

Lisa asked a guy using a candy scheme, and here's how he answered:

For their "day activity" they did a photo scavenger hunt.  In the evening we took photos of the group, and then they had a picnic dinner at a park, went to the dance, and then came over to our house for a bonfire and s'mores.

Here are a few photos from the afternoon...

And from the evening photo session.

Lisa borrowed a letter cutting machine from a friend and created stencils for the words on the shirts, and then each of the girls used the stencils to paint the lettering.

The dance had a Disney theme; hence the words from the song "Kiss the Girl," from The Little Mermaid.

We took the photos up at the train depot, which is a really photogenic spot with lots of nice scenery for photos.

Lisa likes making faces for the camera. :)

We tried a few jumping shots.

It was a fun group of kids.

And finally, a few random bonus photos from, of, and around the train station.
