This little pilgrim had me over to his school to sing a bunch of Thanksgiving songs, and have a feast.  I am pleased to say that he was first in line because, “he is very well behaved and he is the leader” according to Ms. Shih.
Aren’t all pilgrims?

But being first in line puts you in the back corner of the risers — just where your floor-sitting mama can’t really see you.

The Mandarin program has quite the learning curve — in many aspects.
For this performance, Ms. Shih didn’t realize that they would be performing.  She thought she was given some songs to teach the kids.  So when she found out, they spent a day of learning and practicing them — and then it was showtime!
For the little amount of time they had, these three buddies sang their heart out.

Afterwards, another pilgrim joined in on the feast.
Too bad neither of my kids liked what they had to offer.  (What would they have done if they were real pilgrims?  Starve.)

the afternoon ended on a sour note when one of our little pilgrims went missing, and couldn’t find her brother in the crowd of pilgrims and indians.
But all was well, here is Scout telling her that we would never leave her.
