Prom Night At The Baadsgaard House

This is my son John. I am so impressed with him and the other young men in this group.  They decided they wanted to offer the young women they asked to prom a unique experience where every aspect of the day would be wholesome and fun. The day started bright and early on Saturday as they decorated a cultural hall themselves at a local  church. Then they picked up their dates and spent a few hours providing service at a local food pantry and thrift store.  Next came a three-legged Easter egg hunt. Then they dropped off their dates to give them plenty of time to get ready. Next came pictures  followed by a delicious six course meal. Then they took the girls to their decorated dance site where they had arranged for their own play list of music that was tasteful, fun to dance to . . . and not too loud so they could talk to each other. They danced for 2 1/2 hours and had a great time. Every girl wore a modest dress and every boy treated his date like a princess.

This is great Janene. More kids should know that they can have a great time and fun time with proper manners including dressing modestly and treating each other and all in the group with affection and consideration.

Sounds like an absolutely wonderful day and one that will be remembered by all. The pictures are beautiful--the girls are gorgeous in their gowns with their wristlet corsages and the young men are very handsome! I'm sure it was a mother moment looking at all these young people and remembering when your son John cuddled in your lap. Time goes by too fast. On another note, I hope you and your family and a Blessed Easter.

Thank you for your comment Diana. Ross and were chaperons at the dance. Every couple had SO much fun actually dancing. Most school and even church sponsored dances are loud rock music with suggestive lyrics. So the young people don't even dance at dances any more. I wish I had a video of their dance. This was such a wonderful alternative and the boys made it happen.

Thanks for stopping by Shirley. I love to hear from you. You are right time goes by too fast. I hope you had a wonderful Easter as well. As the prom couples were taking pictures at our house we also had a family Easter party going on at our home. Fun day full of joy.
