Here I am with my friend on our way to Minnesota. My friend and I spent almost all of the six hours finishing up some of the outfits that were going to be worn for the weekend. We mainly sewed on hooks and eyes and buttons. Lots of hooks and eyes...

Here we are again. Big smiles.

My sister taking a much needed nap in the car.

My friend and I at the Theatrical Friday evening.

My sister and friend at the Theatrical.

I only got pictures of the Theatrical at the very end. I didn't think it would be proper of me to take them throughout the performance. But, I'm glad I did sneak a few pictures at the end.

Another Theatrical snapshot.

Here we are getting ready to leave after performance.

Here we are lacing each other up before the ball.

The "Iowa Ladies"

Here we are posing for a picture at the Valentine Ball Saturday evening.

Another picture, only one of the girl's mothers got in the picture this time.

There wasn't room on the seat that my friend was sitting on, so I sat on the other chair. We would occationally talk through the flowers and my sister thought it was cute. So, she took a picture of it.

Glenna Jo and Bill Christen. Wonderful people. I'm always thrilled whenever I get a chance to meet with them at an event.

It was lovely having a harpest play during the evening meal.

Here are a few of us sitting at our table for dinner. Mr. Longley kindly obliged in taking a few pictures for me.

My sister and Mr. Longly chatting. It looks like Mr. Longley has asked her for a dance!

My friend and her mother.

Sorry for the quality of these pictures, but it was a rather dimly lit ballroom and so I had to lighten the pictures so that you could see them a little better.

This is a picture of a group of dancers dancing a dance called the Russian Mazurka. It's an awesome dance that our dance group would like to eventually learn.

A picture of a few of the girls sitting up in the balcony while watching the dance demonstration of the Russian Mazurka.

Another shot of couples dancing.

Getting ready to go coasting!

Still getting situated before going down.

Here we are at the coasting hill.

And here we are again!

This is the hill we went coasting on. We are currently at the bottom of the hill in this picture as Mr. P______ looks down at us.

Here we are coming back up after coasting. Such fun!

Elyssa and my sister.

We only got one picture of us ice skating. Well, it's really just us posing on the ice for a picture! Hopefully I will get more from some of the other people that took pictures.

Mr. P______ about ready to go down the hill.

He's off!!
