America on Parade

Thursday night, before all the sickness hit our house (just before), we went to Alli's play at school. She had a solo (albeit one line long) in "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." She did a wonderful job and was even in tune! There were six different classes in the play and they sang songs and recited key documents in our country's history. They recited the "I have a Dream" speech, "The Gettysburg Address," "The Preamble to the Constitution," among others (I don't remember them all). Some classes even danced--it was cute! We left feeling very patriotic and inspired! It reminded Jeff and me of participating in patriotic programs when we were little. I wish we had more of these programs. It was a fun night--We loved it!

Alli dressed-up like an antebellum girl.

"And we'll all be glad when Johnny comes marching home."

"Make America Proud of You!"

Alli is growing up. She looks beautiful in her costume. And congrats on the solo! What a singer.
