The term ends with the Glow Show!

There was quite a frenzy leading up to the Big Show on Tuesday night. It was a production with a huge amount of complexity, with each class having multiple song and dance numbers, and many other elements besides. Carl and I were part of the staff/parent chorus for which we actually practiced for several weeks, and I also contributed to the set design.

Willa, Lex, and Jasper were front and center in their parts of the production, and threw themselves into it. The show was a warm and wonderful way to tie up the Term, and we feel very connected as a result.

We also held a big goodbye party on Wednesday, with families showing up mid-day and staying through the late evening, with an Ethiopian food feast. There were also a number of sleepovers, including Willa spending two consecutive nights at her best buddy Nadine’s house. What a thrill!

Because of changes of plans, we’ll be back in Tigoni for Christmas, with one more chance to see some friends. Turns out, Carl and I will also be the emcees for the Silent Night Christmas eve show, and the kids will be performing a skit. So we have one more chance on the Forest Stage before we leave Kenya.
