Jacob and Hannah's class presented a tableau version of the Stations of the Cross on Holy Thursday afternoon. Jacob acted as narrator, welcoming the audience and announcing each Station. Hannah along with a fellow classmate traipsed back and forth across the stage with a blanket to shield the actors as they changed positions. Dear little Hannah almost didn't make the play as she was sick the night previous. However, she had rallied by Thursday afternoon and was insistent that she come to school with Ben and I to view the presentation. I think that the after-party (with many treats) was a big draw. I have been trying to load the clip of the Stations but I am having trouble; so, until I overcome my technical difficulties, I will leave you with the videos of the song time that followed the Stations. I tried my best to get Hannah in as many shots as possible but she was successful at remaining hidden for most of the songs. I could have stood just short of centre stage to capture little Hannah on camera, but, I didn't think that would go over well with the other parents. As you will see, Jacob was infinitely easier to get on camera. Actually, I was a little shocked at his enthusiasm and asked his teacher if he was always so excitable. She just smiled and nodded. My neighbour, whose granddaughter is in the twins' class, said to me afterward, "That one, he's hyper, eh?" Only slightly.
p.s. The strange noise in the middle of clip no. 1 was another child burping very loudly during the performance. Definitely not my child.
