IT'S A POW-WOW!

Our little warrior!

We ate pizza before the POW-WOW
KADEN led his class around the gym.
REESE and LANEY.  You can't separate these two.  
Laney is my friend Jackie's little girl
The couples dance.  
KADEN and LOGAN in a couples dance.  This is also Jackie's little girl.  They're best friends!


The boys had to watch from the sidelines during an all girls dance.
They had all the kids come and pull their parents and grandparents out of the bleachers to dance with them.  

KADEN'S pre-school had a mini pow-wow last night.  They spent all week making their costumes and learning how to dance.  I love that KADEN (and us too) get to learn of different cultures.  The school teaches the kids to speak Nez Perce and  KADEN thinks the Indian warriors are fascinating.  The men sat in a big circle around a large drum and sang sacred songs in their Nez Perce language.  To us, it sounds like chanting and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
