The PROMENADE.

A ritual of the PROM at Timpview High School is THE PROMENADE. For those of you unfamiliar with this tradition, as I was until three years ago when Matt when to PROM, the attendees to PROM, exit the old courthouse, where PROM is always held, and walk down the very lengthy front steps, as each girl and her date is introduced. Parents, friends and strangers gather at the court house to watch the attendees prance around in their finest PROM attire.

Well we all went to watch Courtney. Did I mention it was raining? When we first arrived we were drenched just from walking from the car to the gathering location. After about 25 minutes the rain let up, so at least by the time Courtney and Scott did their walk they did not have to fumble with the umbrella.

You start at the top....and pray you don't trip or fall, after all there is only about 500 people watching....

You stop in the middle for a picture opportunity.

Then when you get to the bottom you turn and walk up the other side.

Then you have completed the PROMENADE!

One final note, as you can see we brought our umbrellas. Mark's umbrella is camouflage and he is quite proud of it. At some point while we were waiting for Courtney to make her appearance, MacKenzie, his cousin, picked up the umbrella. Mark asked MacKenzie for the umbrella back several times and was met with a "No." Finally he said to MacKenzie "I am serious MacKenzie, give me my umbrella back." She complied, after all he was serious.
