Sorry I digressed, back to homecoming. Foremost, Gulf Coast won their football game Friday night which is shocking since they have only won one other game this entire season. The score was 3 to 0 but it was still no less a win.
As with every other homecoming there was a dance Saturday night. The new trend is to attend the dance with groups of friends rather than with dates. Mackenzie organized a gathering of a few of her freshman friends at our house prior to the dance. We had agreed to drive the girls to an upscale restaurant for dinner. Mackenzie and I had chosen the perfect place because it was full of other groups attending the dance as well. It was exciting to see all of them dressed to the nines. Darin and I sat at the bar as not to embarrass the girls.
I was so proud of Mackenzie. She and I had found the perfect dress in less than a two hour shopping spree at our local mall. As a special treat, I took her to the nail salon the day of the dance but otherwise she did her own hair and makeup. She looked amazing! But more importantly she had an even more amazing time at the dance. When asked if she would attend again next year, absolutely!
On a side note, the restaurant bill for the girls was a whopping 26 bucks. The bar bill for Darin and I was even more than that. No wonder the girls stay so slim.
