Y’all.  Every year Makenna’s dance recital happens to be on one of the hottest days of summer.  This year was no exception, being on one of the evenings during the major heat wave where it was 104 degrees….in a gymnasium with no air conditioning.  We seriously considered not taking her, as there were other shows and end-of-year activities that were cancelled due to the heat.  But we toughed it out since it was her last recital in France.  Thankfully I bought tickets as soon as they went on sale and I got seats in the very first row which was slightly cooler than the seats at the top.  The recital was so cute, as they danced to a song in French called “what is life?”  We had a great experience with the dance school here and we will surely miss our dance days!
