Prom was on a busy weekend. Seth and Lydia had a track meet both Friday night and Saturday and Russ was in Iowa for a Dordt board meeting and spending time with Anna and Nicolas. Lydia wore the dress we had bought for Caleb's wedding last summer. I'm all about reusing beautiful dresses!
Since Cole Valley doesn't have its own track or host its own track meet, it is difficult to have a senior night. Instead, the track seniors were recognized at the senior chapel when other awards were also announced.
Lydia also presented her senior project this spring--her menagerie of crocheted animals. Are they not the cutest? She began making them last summer and just finished them up throughout the year. She learned tons about crocheting and was incredibly independent on this project.
Lydia also had her last viola recital this spring. She ran in the state meet on Friday night qualifying for finals in the 100m dash. Got up Saturday morning, raced to the recital, and then quickly changed to head back to the state track meet to run in finals (and a couple relays).
The following day was graduation. An incredibly full weekend! Caleb and Mikaela drove up from SLC to be a part of this big weekend. We missed Nicolas so much but knew he couldn't get away for the weekend because of his job. Next year Anna and Lydia will both be in Sioux Center with him so he will see them plenty!
