Homecoming Court and Pep Night

Courtney was a beautiful homecoming princess. Her dress was modest and stunning. I am still in disbelief that our little girl is a senior. We were very proud of her.
Courtney with her good friends, Annika, Tori, and Melissa. Melissa was chosen as the homecoming queen. She wore her grandmother's dress from 1957. Such pretty girls.
The Homecoming Court
Weston Anderson escorted Courtney. He is in my (Karen's) seminary class and is a great young man.
Pep Night is crazy loud and there is so much spirit in that gym. Jacob is somewhere in the sea of red-clad freshmen. The poor freshmen won nothing in the spirit competition, but they had fun anyway.
The senior class' theme was "Top Gun" and it was clever, especially the way they did the spell-out. I couldn't begin to describe it with justice, but the letters for "SENIORS" flew down a zip line and a senior boy was on a ladder waving glow sticks. It was like the guy on the ship in the movie "Top Gun" when he waves batons so the pilots know where to go. A few more notes about the Bug Collection and Virtue Flats pictures below. Bug Collection: this was the fifth and final bug collection that our family has had to do for Biology. We have collected bugs since May, put them in Ziplocs, and into a shoe box that we kept in the freezer. I am no longer stinking scared of insects. Jake had some huge bugs. We got some in Florida when we were there, and some friends who went to Southern Utah brought one from there that we don't have here in Oregon. Virtue Flats: This area is a few miles east of Baker. I told Jake as I was driving him out there, that it was cool he was able to run so close to the actual Oregon Trail. It's definitely not the pretty mountainous side of Baker, but it has history.
