"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Post Prom!

Ben and Conner headed over to the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena for the Post Prom event tonight! It began at 10:30pm. We weren't sure how long the guys would last, but they stayed the whole time and didn't get home until 4:00am! They brought a prize home with them... a 55 inch TV that Ben won in the grand prize raffle! They said they had a lot of fun playing poker and won some other prizes. We are all exhausted from being up most of the night, but it was worth it knowing how much fun they had!
