Back to school this week! Cali and Chey and Beth dreaded going back. Cali and Chey dreaded it because this junior year has been so much work and will continue to be. Beth, I think, would just rather be home. Benjamin seems to feel good either way: being home is fine and being at school is fine. I'm glad he feels good at school.

Chey and Cali had tennis on Monday, but Wednesday's practice was cancelled due to bad weather. They had a match Saturday morning, singles and doubles, but they lost both. They were sad. Cheyenne practiced with the track team all week and ran in the 300 hurdles at Friday's track meet.

Cali worked at Funfinity but only had to work one day this week because Saturday was . . .

PROM! Cali went with Richmond and Chey went with Kimball. They both got to go but they went with different groups and did slightly different things. Cali's group got pictures, then went to a friend's house for dinner, then the dance, then someone else's house for root beer floats and jack box games. Chey's group got pictures, then went out to eat, then to the dance. Afterwards they watched a movie. They both had a really good time. (Oh! For day dates, Cali's group did Bob Ross paintings and Chey's group played games in the park).

So, backing up a little, on Friday night we had a family party to celebrate Ammon's graduation from BYU! Go Ammon! They are leaving us next week (just for the summer) to sell pest control in Colorado, so we needed to party while we had the chance! Grandma and Grandpa came over. We had hamburgers from the barbecue. We decorated. We sang the cougar fight song! Afterwards we played Ticket to Ride and Ammon won! (Just kidding. Cheyenne won! But Ammon came in second!) We are super proud of Ammon and we sure love both of them. We are going to miss them this summer!

On Saturday, in addition to Prom, we also had Benjamin's friend birthday party. We have always done a big birthday party when our kids turn ten, but because of COVID, Ben never got that. So we did the giant birthday party this year! Ben invited eight of his friends to Hang Time (which is a building filled with trampolines and obstacle courses). Boy were they excited! They had a great time and it was fun to see Ben with all his good friends.

Also on Saturday, our good friends, the Groslands, had the wedding of their daughter, Sam, to celebrate! Of course, we had to celebrate, too! It was fun to wish her well and to visit with old friends, too.
