The Grad Dance. .

Cole, originally uploaded by Michelle.Dan.

8th Grade "PROMOTION" it's called by the teachers.

After the ceremony there is a small dinner and then the DANCE. The girls dress up in formal gowns and the boys pretend they care.

It rained all day which forced the the ceremony indoors at the high school. The lighting was awful and everyone's camera had a hard time adjusting. I got a few pictures of Nicole from REALLY far away. I missed most of Christopher. There was a heart stopping moment when Nicole almost fell off the stage, ( BUT SHE DIDN'T). We snapped a few pictures at home, but had more lighting issues. I'm going to have to try and brighten them.

They are all still at the dance.

I'm sure there will be MUCH drama for me to write about tomorrow and I'm also sure that 2 minutes into the DANCE, they all took off their shoes and hopefully let their hair down.
