Spokane LILAC FESTIVAL

What is Spokane Lilac Festival?

The first time I heard about it I didn't really know what it meant. I thought Lilac is some kind of flower and that we'll walk around and look at them. Well it wasn't exactly like that. 

When I researched it one of the first articles that popped up had a quote that said it all:

"Honoring our military, Recognizing our Youth and showcasing our community."

There was everything. Every single High School, including ours had their own marching band there. 

Every single part of the Spokane community was there. It was awesome. The parade went on for hours. 

I loved it

Prom!

On the 22nd of February I asked my date to prom. It was really early but she wasn't expecting it and it was perfect.

Prom is one of the biggest High School dances a High school-er can have. We started out with pictures in a very special park. I got to see my date, Rachael in her beautiful yellow dress for the first time. It looked so good on her. When we entered the park, there was almost 50 more couples taking pictures as well, but it was fine. No one was in any ones way, the park was huge. It worked out pretty well. We got some really nice pictures. Aunt Lori and grandpa took some really good pictures that I didn't actually see yet. :) I know they are going to be awesome.

After the pictures were taken, we went for dinner. Melting Pot.
It was a fondue restaurant that serves fondue, whether it's chocolate fondue, cheese fondue or meat fondue.It was a great experience. We spent so much time in the restaurant that we missed the beginning of prom which is fine. Prom went from 8PM to 11PM and it was awesome. It was pretty much a disco party where people picked pop music to dance to. I thought there will be like slow dancing but it was a party and it was super neat. I danced with Rachael, my prom date :) , like the whole night. It started out slow because we didn't really dance together before  but after a while we got pretty crazy and wild ;) .:) It was so awesome!! Best dance ever.The hall was medium sized with a balcony on one side. Some people spent more time on the balcony than on the dance floor. The balcony was a quiet place where we could just kinda chill from the loud music and talk:). Prom was a wonderful experience with wonderful people and it will be never forgotten!!
