May Fete

Tonight was May Fete. It is basically the only fun that things goes on here once a year! The whole week has a lot of fun things going on. There is a carnival in one of the parks. Tonight and tomorrow are May Fete which is basically a big talent show in which Paisley's dance class participated. Friday is a holiday here and there is a huge parade and tons of activities all over McPherson, including a great petting zoo featuring some exotic animals! Yay for the week of All School's Day! We wait for it all year round. (* On a side note, I believe May Fete is also a cursed two days. There has been, for the past three years, tornado warnings on these days and today was no different. I spent a long time on the phone crying to Jason (who didn't heed my call to come home) while me and kids were downstairs in the basement praying and hoping our home would be spared. The sound of tornado sirens is the most horribly scary sound I have ever heard! Luckily the tornado touched down east of us by the freeway, it crossed the freeway and then headed for some other small town 15 miles away. Is there any wonder I want to get out of here?)

This was on our way to the performance!! About two weeks ago something clicked with Paisley and she decided she wasn't scared to perform in front of a lot of people, so she was really looking forward to this!

This is all the girls in her class. We ended up stalling the beginning of the program because this picture started out as just about 5 of the girls and eventually everyone got in on the picture!


Paisley and Maisie after their beautiful performance! (Paisley could use some sun! hehe)


*Another side note: I always thought we had a good camera until tonight and realized that the dumb thing couldn't focus on Paisley because of how far she was from me! Now I hate that camera! Luckily we also brought the camcorder so yeah for a clear picture of the whole event! But I can't upload that onto the computer so you get the fuzzy one. Paisley is second one in from the right, Maisie is last and Paisley is next to her.)
