Allison peeking out...
That night was special. Sarah Hubbard (the beloved babysitter) was going to Prom. One of the big thing for Ward Melville is "entering" Prom. The create a total red carpet atmosphere... and some of the students get really creative with the vehicles they arrive in. Sarah and her date took a firetruck to the prom. It sounds weird, but its not.... Sarah's dad Jimmy passed away last November after battling pancreatic cancer. He was an active member of the Fire Department and a current fire Commissioner.... he is sorely missed. 
Here is Sarah and girlies (they adore her) Katie didn't get to close, I think she thought she would mess up her dress.
Sarah and her date Ryan.
Beautiful :)
They met at Station 2 and took Ladder 2 to the Prom, Station 1 also wanted to participate... so she had 2 trucks (Engine 8 brought the manpower!)
I was really lucky... I went to watch the arrivals with Cindy (Sarah's Mom). She was on Prom committee and had 2 tickets for the reserved bleachers. It was my first time, and I had soooooo much fun. The school is tranformed inside and out!
I know its hard to see, but this man is 87 ( I think) years old and he is graduating with the class of 2008! Here he is arriving at the Prom!
here come the trucks, first Engine 8... followed by Ladder 2
They had members create an Honor Guard for her... It was pretty moving.
as she exits the truck :)
Smile for the cameras Sarah:) Today she graduated! Congratulations Sarah! We love You!
Today we were invited to Katie's friends Baptism.... They are mormon, so they actually do not get baptised until they choose to. I was honored to be invited to share this very special day with their family. After the service, the girls enjoyed some refreshments...
Congratulations Hannah!
