Mary, Joseph, the cow, and maybe Jesus

The other day Kaley (my niece-in-law) was telling us about her Chritmas concert at school. She was so excited! "And the play is about Mary! and Joseph! and the Cow!...and maybe Jesus." Guess which part she had?

Paul and I got lost on the way to her school, which is out in Cooking Lake. The google map directions said to turn on Cooking Lake Road South/TWP 513A. Where we actually needed to turn was RR222A. Not the same thing. Paul's Dad called us:

Him: "Where are you guys?"

Me: "I don't know. Lost. There is a field and a field and fog."

Him: "Oh. When you get here, don't park at the fire hall, okay?"

Me: "Okay." (Thinking: Fire hall? If we find a fire hall I will kiss it. Where the hell is this place?)

Him: "Go back to the highway and follow these directions instead...."

His directions involved going straight through a stop sign and passing a green airport sign. They led to aimless driving around the town in Cooking Lake. We never did find the airport sign.

Eventually, in spite our two sets of directions, we found the place. We came in the main doors and Paul stamped the snow off his boots and got shushed by a fourth grader. We snuck into the back of the gym and were able to instantly pick Kaley out of the crowd of Kindergarden singers. She was the one right in front of the microphone hopping up and down in excitement at the joy of doing actions. She was not a cow yet. The cow came later.

Our little cow is the one lit up on the lower right.

Kaley

Here she sang a sweet little duet.

Duet

Below she is doing the actions for all she is worth. This is the part where they spin around and the only part of the song that the microphone picked up was a loud "OH!", which cracked me up. Later, Kaley got a bit behind in the song and we could hear her saying, "Wait. Wait. Wait!"

Dancing

Everyone else is doing the actions. Kaley is rocking out because she likes this song.

Rocking out

The final note of the finale. She's singing for all she's worth.

Howling

And at the end while everyone else was milling about, Kaley took her bow.
