Worland Prom 2010

It is Prom season in Worland. The week started with Kaytee and a bunch of the other juniors transforming the high school gym into a twinkling, sparkling wonderland - first they cover the floors and walls with black plastic, then add the white Christmas lights, lots of balloons, a boatload of glitter and stars, and this year, a gigantic 2-0-1-0 that the prom attendees would stroll through as they Grand Marched across the gym to greet the cheering crowd - the entire town of Worland turns out for this event.

Here is Kaytee, the night before prom, "letting Michelle feel tall", as they are getting a little loopy after decorating all day and night.


A bunch of the decorators pause in their efforts for a group photo.


The big day finally arrives. Nicole Madden came over to get Kaytee all curly-cued.


After a nap and giving herself a Hawaiin manicure, thanks to Ali and Mike, Kaytee's got on her "dancing" shoes and waiting for her date to arrive.


Kaytee's date was Joe Wille from Riverton (he moved from Worland a few years ago.) All I could think when he got here was - wow, he got tall! (and very cute!) He is helping Kaytee adjust the corsage he got her.


Here are Kaytee and Joe strolling down the lighted 2010 path as their names are announced, they then stopped on the star at the end to pose for the newspaper and photographer (and parents who were quick enough) to take pictures. They were couple number 26. There were over 80 couples. It was a very loooong grand march.

Everyone loved the shoes - the newspaper made her lift her skirt so they could get this picture.

In my opinion, the cutest couple of the night.

Here is Kaytee with some of her friends, Chantel and Karsyn.

Then they announced that all the parents needed to quit taking pictures and leave so the dance could begin. Hope they are having fun - while I wait up - waiting to hear all about it - so that is why you all are getting this up-to-the minute post!
