We arrived around 2:30 and the house appeared to be empty with a big moving truck in the driveway. What we found was our son-in-law, Darryl, asleep on the couch and Amy in the process of getting dressed. Darryl along with his friend, Damian, had worked on loading the truck the night before with the largest items to be placed in storage in Atlanta. This included Amy's piano, which I believe Damian has helped load at least four times. I understand that he emphatically insisted that he does not intend to help move the piano again. Darryl had enlisted the help of a day laborer on Thursday morning to finish loading the truck. He and Damian were heading for Atlanta following Amelia's program on Friday.
After picking Amelia up at school, we proceeded to one of our favorite places to eat, Tommy's Fish House. We had to wait a while for our food and Amelia, who had donned a crown for the occasion, amused herself with Amy's iphone.
The next morning we carried Amelia to school and went directly to the school cafeteria so that we could get a good seat. We were on the second row and the hour's wait was worth it.
The program was entitled, "Our Year in Kindergarten". Apparently this is the program the kindergarten classes put on every year. It presented songs and activities that they had done as a class through the year.
Each child was assigned the responsibility of making a flower, a bug, or a butterfly and they turned into a great backdrop. There are two kindergarten classes, but the other class had presented their program the day before.
The program started with the beginning of the school year and went on until summertime. Amelia was the Snow Queen and her friend, Marshall, was the Snow King. They sang "Winter Wonderland" by themselves and did a great job. In my humble opinion, Amelia is destined to star in school musicals in the future.
Afterwards Amelia enjoyed hanging out with some of her friends before going back to class. It was a great program and the kids were so enthusiastic with their singing. This has been a wonderful school and we are all sad to have to say good bye, but I think Amelia has gotten a strong start with her education by attending there. Did you know that these children know the names of all the presidents of the United States in order? They demonstrated their knowledge in song. I didn't ever learn that. I tried but I always forgot the middle ones.
Here is a picture of Amelia with her proud parents. Notice that you can see less of Darryl than in previous pictures.
And of course we have to have a picture of Amelia with her proud grandparents. It was a great day and we are so happy we could be there for it.
Note: There's less of me too, but you sure can't tell it from this picture.
