Yesterday the girl’s pre-school (which is also a music school) had their big “Chinese New Year” performance. They rented out a theater in one of the fancy buildings downtown, and when we showed up, we knew it was going to be a ‘big deal’. (You see, they never really tell us – sometimes we show up to these things and it’s one song and at parent teacher’s meeting, other times it’s like yesterday… a full-blown production.) The theater was huge and when we first arrived, Erica had doubts that they would fill it up. Well, they did fill it up, and there were even people standing!
Everyone performed, I mean everyone! Even the school’s staff did the opening act with some kind of swan dance or something. And then the piano performances started. Don’t get me wrong, these kids were amazing, some of them only 3 or 4 years old, playing really difficult songs. The thing was, there were over 75 of them! That is why the event took almost 4 hours! (Sorry to our house helper who was babysitting Nate and had to stay late!)
The girls did have their part too. We had to sit through 4 hours of other stuff to get this, you get to go right to the good stuff! Enjoy!
This trip is a combination of vacation, medical, and logistics.
Logistics – Elizabeth’s and my passports expire soon, so we need to go to the consulate and get new ones! Medical – a whole bunch of routine checkups are on the schedule as well as a dentist appt for me that I’m not thrilled about. Vacation – there will be Western food, grandparents and Disneyland involved…
Maybe I’ll even post a blog post or two while I’m there!
We found out earlier this week that Elizabeth & Anna’s school was having a performance and that the girls were going to be in it! This was great news since their last performance did not include them…
You better believe we showed up with camera(s) ready! Enjoy!
