Last Weekend With My Prince Charming

After the surprise party during the week, last weekend Kory and I had the opportunity to be in a parade! One of our neighbors, Rebecca, was doing an internship for a new spa/oxygen bar that is opening in Orem. They were in the parade to help promote and advertise their opening. She needed volunteers to help her. The theme of the parade was "Tell Your Story," or something like that. The theme of the oxygen bar that we were representing was, "Turn Your Story Into a Fairytale." So Rebecca rented
beautiful costumes from the Hale Center Theater and had 3 princesses and 2 princes. My handsome, charming husband Kory was one of them!




It was crazy because earlier that day we were at work and saw the most insane rain storm. There were DARK clouds, with rain POUNDING from the clouds to the ground. The wind was also BLOWING like crazy! It was an intense rain storm. I was concerned that we might get caught in a storm for the parade just a few hours later.

But when we lined up to get ready for the parade, it was sunny! We had bags full of candy, flyers, and crowns to hand out to children and parents lined up to watch the parade. In front of us in the parade were these cute little karate kids, so I took a picture of them too :) haha. It was fun to do the parade and watch little kids get excited about seeing a prince or princess. At the very end of the parade it started to storm again, but luckily we made it to nearly the end first!

How fun! Too bad I couldn't be there to see it too! Maybe you guys could go with us to the Provo parade on July 4? The kids would LOVE it!

Is he wearing nylons? Awesome. Those are some pretty sweet costumes she rented. What is an oxygen bar, by the way? And you can totally ignore Adam. He thought he was so funny after he wrote that. He literally laughed out loud. He's weird. Sorry!

:) No worries. An oxygen bar is a place where you breath in straight oxygen and they can make it different flavors. It supposedly give you lots of energy and helps you feel rejuvenated. I've seen it in the Vegas airport and at some other random places. Solace will be the only one in Utah so far.
