Claire's Maypole Dance

Last Friday was Claire's school's annual May Day performance. Last year Claire participated in the drama, but this year as a fifth-grader she danced around the Maypole. Hamilton spent most of his time running around the school grounds with Mr. Morgan and trying to talk to pretty girls.

Claire's Maypole is on the far left. She's paired with a boy in a teal-blue shirt, and she's wearing a white dress.

Claire and the other fifth-graders practiced for months, and she did really well. She was excited about the Maypole dance, and at the end she declared it seemed short. We did not think the performance was too short, however, probably because we sat in the blazing sun on an 85-degree day.
