alaska day

there's a parade tomorrow. it will be raining, of course. that's the tradition. sitka is the only place in alaska that celebrates alaska day, and we celebrate it for a week. the kids will both be marching in their school bands. i'll be walking with the families from our child care center, which is celebrating it's 20th anniversary this year.

tuesday, cassie's school choir performed in the alaska day variety show. not much variety, really. the choir did a good job, and they helped mrs. turcott sing the alaska flag song before the beard and bonnet judging began. oh, so corny.
