Fall Formal

From left to right: Augustin Palma, Maci Solario, Emi, Kennadee Bickerstaff, Caden Mitchell, Adilene Solario, Carlos Morales, and Peyton "Beans" Factor.

For weeks, Emilio told us he wasn't going to the Homecoming Dance. Then they talked him into it, and he presented Kennadee (who also plays soccer) with a poster that read "My goal is to take you to HoCo."

The evening started with photos (taken by Caden's mom, Kristi). Caden's parents then ferried everyone to Roma's for dinner. The dance was held in the Indoor Practice Field. The after party was at Caden's house, and everyone brought a change of clothes. Curfew: midnight.
