Day 11: Another evening out It's the big 8th grade 'graduation' dance, and I was the dutiful father, snapping photos of my daughter and her friends. It was a 'red carpet' themed event, and all the boys and girls were in their party finest. For the boys, black shirts/pants and a white tie was the preferred look. The girls - everything from the 'little black dress' to near prom regalia. It was interesting watching the awkward junior highers' as they attempted to be grown-up. Weird to see kids I watched go through elementary school start looking like their mom/dad - at 14!

After this it was another school board meeting, discussing board goals for the coming year. There was time after the meeting for a 'tall cold one' at the local watering hole with outdoor seating until 11pm!

Total time outside: 90 minutes
