As Steven’s Senior year winds down, the fun part begins. Last weekend was Marshall Fundamental’s Senior Prom held at Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. As the event drew closer, Steven had the idea of having the Merino Home as the hub for all of his friends to gather before the Prom, take pictures, and coordinate carpools.

Christy saw this as an opportunity to spruce up the backyard, prepare some ‘Mock-tails’ and snacks, and give the crew a proper send off. I saw this as an opportunity to take a crap load of pictures so the kids didn’t have to worry about paying an exorbitant amount of cash for a junky picture with a cheap background.

I guess I wasn’t the only one with that idea as all of the kids’ parents arrived at our house with cameras in hand ready to snap away. With 26 students and at least as many family members, our backyard resembled a post-Oscar party. The cameras were going off like the Paparazzi around Brad and Angelina.

Here is Steven with his date, Liz:
