Masquerade

The Masquerade Ball is a Spanish Fork dance. Ummm...but Jens goes to Provo High....you say. His cousins who recently moved to Spanish from Arvada Colorado, Miquel and Erica brought over a huge box of fish crackers with something written on the box.

That's it...now what?!

He got a bowl and poured all the fishies in and found some little pieces of paper that had words on them. He had to put the words in order.

In case you can't read it it says..."Out of all the fish in the sea, I want you to go to Masquerade with me" All the bottom words were just to throw him off. It was quite tricky at first. A couple days earlier Jens was invited over to their house to "get to know Rachael". They did know each other. It wasn't a blind date.

This is how Jens answered: He got a huge bag of dum dum suckers and put a ton of the suckers in a ziplock baggie and wrote on some paper I'd be a dum dum not to go to Masquerade with you. He cut the paper in puzzle pieces and put those into an envelope and tucked it into the bag of suckers.

The costume assignment for this group was Disney characters...Jens and Rachael were Hercules and Meg.

Here are the dance pictures; November 1. He was to be at Erica and Miquels house by 5. I went too (of course) not only to take pictures but to be with Sheryl my SIL. It was so fun...I'm so glad I went. We found a great costume which I embellished all the leather looking stuff and sewed the silver cape on.

After pictures they went in and had a wonderful dinner...the choices were spaghetti and meatballs OR chicken alfredo serves with cesar salad, breadsticks and a lovely beverage. Miquel and Erica made the main courses while Ashley and Rachael made the breadsticks. Cheesecake for dessert. Each wrist was attached to the wrist that was sitting next to you. That was a really fun part to watch and video. After the dinner they played some outside games and went inside to watch Sixth Sense then went to the dance. Came home before the dance ended to finish the movie and have dessert. Fun fun times!
Just in case you're wondering...most of the girls knew they would be eating with some difficulty so they changed their clothes and then changed back right before the dance.
