she is THE HOPE OF AMERICA

Provo’s Freedom Festival @ the Marriott Center – “Hope of America Student Showcase. Join us as over 6,600 5th grade students from 78 Utah schools come together in red, white, and blue to form the American Flag. Experience the patriotism as young students celebrate America’s freedom through song, choreography, and Sign Language.”

Hannah has been practicing for months to perform with the other 5th graders in Hope of America. They sang 14 songs and many had elaborate (bizarre) actions (that we all chuckled about). Hannah & her friend, Tea, were one of the stars in the top left corner. It was a very tiring day having a field trip to BYU to practice, picnic at Discovery Park in Pleasant Grove, and then a long, late performance that evening.

The students had to be there by 6:15 p.m. so we left at 5 to make it in time with traffic/parking. The event went from 7:30 – 9 p.m. We ended up taking the entire fam. Jimmy took the littles to get dinner until it started. I saved our seats. The kids actually seemed to really enjoy the performance and the dancing. It was a late night for all… we got home just after 10.

Isn’t Miss Hannah cute?!

Sidenote: Max thought the “voice” was Heavenly Father.
This was my favorite song, “We Can Be A Light”.
Loved the “twinkle, twinkle star” lights as Liza called them.
