Cute HS Graduation Party!

ECBG — Sun, 26 May 2024 01:20:47 GMT

DS and DILove gave our older GS the nicest HS graduation party this evening.

They held it at a business were there were 10 plywood stalls and you threw an ax at a bull's eye! They had light snacks or you could bring in your own food!

We had barbecue, brisket, mac and cheese, and other items.

The music was surprising! Brett Michaels and Guns and Roses! The teens were humming and singing to the music!

Congratulations to your grandson. Those axe throwing places have really gotten popular over the last couple of years but it wouldn't be something that would interest me. I'm sure the kids and younger crowd loved it

Sounds like the party was a big success! Congratulations to your grandson!

My own son told me about a place that he went to....this had to be around 5 or 6 years ago (before Covid) where they went to throw axes while at a bar....Yikes! I thought it sounded a bit crazy!!

I can't imagine having a few drinks while thowing axes. It sounded dangerous to me but everyone had a great time.

Wow! Times have really changed. Mine were more "formal affairs" where you would show off your new gold watch...and compare notes about which college you will be attending...

I think I went to a keg party. That was over 50 years ago.

@ECBG Congrats to your grandson!!!

We've had graduation parties (UNC graduation was the day before Mother's Day and Duke on Mother's Day) and highschools in the area I'm not positive are out for the summer.

We've had so many parties at neighbor's houses that we 've had lots of traffic entering our neighborhood and our street which is a cul de sac is lined with parked cars sometimes making it difficult to get in our driveway.

Balloons on mailboxes are everywhere and the noise goes on into the night breaking up about midnight or later.

I love seeing all the kids (?) dressed up carring platters of food and although the music is sometimes a bit loud, it's a fun time of year.

All the dresses and outfits Q sells goes along with the message to wear to "all the graduation parties and weddings". Last night I wore a jumpsuit.

Last night's party was 3 doors down and the family was originally from Maine...LOBSTER ROLL hos d'oevers! Yay for me!!
