The American School Middle School Spring musical this year was "Seussical the Musical, Jr." and Grant played the role of Mr. Mayor. He was actually promoted twice to get that role. After try-outs in January he was a Citizen of Whoville. Then a boy had to quit due to schedule conflicts, so Grant was promoted to Judge Yertle the Turtle. Several weeks later another boy quit and Grant was promoted again, this time to Mr. Mayor (of Whoville). Grant did a great job acting mayoral in the show and his yellow suit was a big hit. We really enjoyed it.

You may have noticed that Grant was not in any of Kate's graduation photo's. As luck would have it, his play was the same weekend as Kate's graduation so he stayed in Holland (I'm sure that he really missed sitting on those wooden bleachers for four hours at Kate's graduation). That created a hectic weekend for Lori and I. We attended Kate's graduation on Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00. Following that we went to several receptions on campus, left for the airport at 3:00, took off at 5:00 and landed the next day at noon. We were tired, but arrived in plenty of time to see Grant's performance that night.

All these logistics were possible because my sister and brother (Anne & Tom) were kind enough to come stay with Grant while Lori and I were in Nashville. The also got to see the musical (twice) so Grant had lots of relatives in the audience.
