Thursday night
(or should I say Friday morning?)
after graduation...
grandpa & I helped out at the all night graduation party.
We had the 2:30 - 5:30 AM shift & I'm not sure it would have been worse to just be there all night? Although I have to admit--- we look pretty darn good for being about 3:30 AM!
the all night graduation party is AMAZING!We were dumb enough to volunteer for megan & brian's too- so we knew what we were getting in for. It's unbelievable what they've got set up here at the high school! The kids have to get there before midnight- they lock the doors & no one comes in our out- except for chaperoning parents. Thankfully- this helps curb drink fests & driving accidents.
You would never know from the pictures I took- that there are hundreds of activities going on here- hey--- it was 2:30 ish in the morning...
I'm lucky to be here & it's unbelievable I took any photos at all!
There was unlimited pizza, soda, donuts, bagels, sub sandwiches, cookies, nachos, popcorn - heaven really- but who can eat so early-- I should have come & stayed all night as not to have ruined my appetite. JK
I only took pictures in the gym... where the carnival games were? There were so many other things going on. I can't even think where to begin. There were segway rides, all kinds of sports, karaoke, fortune telling, prizes awarded all through the night, price is right, who wants to be a millionaire?, dancing, carnival games, great going's on- so fun- especially if you are not old.
Upon finding out we were not busy they switched us to the football throw.
Great news!!
After all our worry & shopping for a laptop for graduation (see story below) jack
WON A LAPTOP!!!
it was the second biggest prize of the night-
I can't believe it, talk about thrilling-
he won it playing The Price Is Right & doing the ol'
wait til everyone else bids & bidding $1 higher- brilliant
he didn't get into BYU for nothin'
At the end of the night they let 700 balloons drop each with at least $1 in it.
It was a great night- thanks to all the hundreds of volunteers & sponsors.

Brett & i were delighted to be put over the Dance Dance revolution competition.
HOORay for us- no one was really playing & we sat back to relax, I pulled out my book & happily started reading & sucking down a diet coke. Brett had the brilliant idea to run home & get his laptop so he could get some work done- mistake!
Upon finding out we were not busy they switched us to the football throw.We spent the rest of the night chasing mistakenly thrown footballs.... the horror. I was so stickin tired already. Brett felt bad- and let me hand out the winning tickets while he chased balls...
The kids turned in tickets for the continuous prized being drawn.

That party is amazing & I'm going to start campaigning right now to get one at our high school.
And "sucking down a diet coke...." I am SO with ya, sister.
I can't believe that you were brave enough to volunteer! I'm telling ya, you're a saint!
