AHHHHH! Today I was at Graceland and it was so much fun! The children have graduation in November...and at their graduations they put on a show for all of the parents. This year their program is full of songs about transportation like "the wheels on the bus", with motions and everything! This week is technically a holiday for schools but the children are coming until 12 everyday to start practing for their graduation. Needless to say...it is adorable and I can't imagine how cute it will be after they have practiced for so long and add props and everyhing. (Pretty sad I wont be here to see it)
However, the best part is that they are doing the Waka Waka dance as their finale! The Waka Waka is a song that Shakira wrote for the World Cup and there is a dance that goes to it...needless to say...it became extremely popular here. I watched as the children practiced today and then joined in...I couldn't resist. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! The graceland staff are all joining the kids for the dance and it is seriously too stinkin cute! I actually went into a mini-depression that I wont be able to see the finished product..because even just a couple of days into learning it...it's adorable...and the kids are loving it.
So here is the plan...I've decided that I will master the Waka Waka before I come home and then I will teach it to everyone back home and we can have a huge Waka Waka dance party...it will be amazing....I know it. :-)
