Saturday, June 28th we had;
1. The End-of-school fair with some singing. Alfonso of Gospel Kids worked with all of St. Jean to put on this performance;
2. The End-of-Year Gymnastics show with both Talia and Davina's classes. The theme was the Olympics. They were excited to partipate because we attended and watched last year, prompting them to sign up for this year so this time, they were actually in it. Talia had to dress in black and Davina in white.
Talia's instructer forgot the tape so they had to do it to other music than that which they had practiced.
Notice the Americanesque flag they gave Talia (Puerto Rico?) I really didn't mean to get that much of that bald guy with the camera...
Legs in the air;
Touch the toes! Notice someone's little brother tries to join in.
Little mix-up with the scarves;
And up in the air!
Survived that...
Davina's turn. She has on white tights (tried to talk her out of them because it was hot but she didn't care and wanted them).
Duck walk;
Finished!
Watch towards the end when Davina locates us in the crowd and starts waving;
They gave each other a hug afterwards, which got out of hand...
Davina amazingly liked her face paint. My kids usually hate having face paint but she wanted to save it to show to her friends at school...two days later but I got it off that night with a washcloth.
3. The 4th of July party which is always held the weekend before. It used to be on a Sunday, which makes much more sense but there was some problem with the staff and it was moved to Saturday a few years ago, meaning it clashes with all the other events that usually go on that weekend.
No matter. As soon as the gymnastic performance was over, we high tailed it over to the Consul General's to catch the end of it. The food was gone but the people weren't and I got to see tons of folks in the int'l community whom I don't see that often (especially now that I'm no longer on the AIA board).
I didn't take any pictures of that event.
