Heritage dinner

One of the bonuses of being a grandparent is getting invited to all sorts of school and extracurricular activities.  One of the disadvantages in living 7 hours away from 11 of your  14 grandchildren is that you can't make it to 78.6% of such activities.  Unless you're Carolyn and are willing to go on the road for business and stay over to visit the grandchildren, thus allowing some parents to get some time off.

The activity we got to participate in this week was a Heritage dinner for Jacob's class.  The theme was centered around the family  In spite of his class being only 30 or so, the school cafeteria was filled with family members who enjoyed a great pot-luck dinner and a program that had at least one singing number from the class.  We were a little late so I'm not sure of the rest of the program.  They also displayed their artwork which featured home and family.

Thanks for the invitation, Jake.
