Belated Saturday! [awkward. turtle.]

Our apologies for the belated-ness of this Saturday blog - We didn't get home until after midnight last night, and we were all way too pooped to blog, so we went to bed... to make a long story much shorter than it really was.

Anyway. We weren't scheduled to be at the amphitheater until 2:00, so we spent the morning relaxing at the cabins. The theater was having an all-day kickoff event for their Passion Play, featuring various Christian performing groups. We helped them out with what they needed before and during the event, and helped them clean up afterwards. We also got to enjoy most of the acts that were there. There were dancing groups, several bands, and karaoke. And us. When we arrived, the karaoke van pulled in and we kicked the afternoon off with some singing! The APUSH class sang "We Didn't Start the Fire" with much muttering, making up of words, and sarcastic facial expressions from Mr. Clark. Then the whole group sang "Build Me Up Buttercup" and "Bohemian Rhapsody." They gave us necklaces every time we sang, and Anna Carey ended up with about 7356. AJ also received multitudes of beads for his Cupid Shuffle skillz. (That z was on purpose.)

After the karaoke madness, we had a quick run-through of our skit before the long night of mayhem began. We then were blessed with 50,000 performances from a lovely Hebrew dancing group. Then we were treated to a preview of the Passion Play, featuring the healing of the blind man by Jesus, and a lovely solo from the now-un-blind man. Then we performed our skit - The Parable of the Sower. Fantastic.

Following our revolutionary interpretation of said parable (Fantastic!), there were several Christian bands and praise-dancing groups. There was much praising, singing, dancing, waving of various banners and flags, and outrageous costumes throughout the program. Speaking of programs, the physical paper bulletin-like work of art that served as the program for the program, was made by Chris.

Moving right along, the entire extravaganza lasted until midnightish. A good time was had by all, and we stayed afterward to help the theater clean up and put things away in their proper places of dwelling. They were ever so grateful to us. It was a blast working with them this week!

By the time we got home, we were all nearly unconscious. Quite literally, in some cases. Lauren actually fell asleep after a week of mad insomnia. Some of us were energized with nutritious snacks of popcorn and ice cream and orange juice. But most of us just crashed. Snoozed. Fell asleep. Hit the hay. Turned out the lights and said our prayers. Nos dormiamos. (There is a high chance that although we are upper-level Spanish students, that is incorrect grammar. Oh well! Que Lastima!) Hence, the story of Saturday endeth here, ye good parenty-folk! And friends. Of Katelin. PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU ALL. Good night, and good luck!
