Da da da da da da da – (by Joyce) You will understand the title after you read this

I traveled to Kisumu to pick Morgan (they don’t say picked up here) on our way to Uganda, but before we left I went to her nursery school.  I got to see the dress rehearsal of some of the kids doing the “chicken dance” in the costumes that Morgan made for them…so adorable!  The kids were in a competition of some sort and they were practicing that day.  Morgan made cute little chicken beaks and wings for the kids (of course, she did).  You can bet that there was no other costume quite like that at the competition. They actually took 7th place overall and 3rd for creative dance.  The teachers had the chicken dance recorded and also the tune “Do you know the Muffin Man?”.  They did a version of the Macarena to the Muffin Man song…also adorable especially in chicken costumes.  I think the kids would have stood in their double line, in their costumes, and dances all day if the teachers kept the music going.  Every time the music was turned on the kids went about their dancin’ business.  Morgan has videotaped this so you will be able to see for yourselves in December…when she comes home!!! although temporarily.  I would post photos, but they are on Morgan’s camera.  The wait will be worth it when you see the video!
