Mason came prepared with his sunglasses -- he sure charmed me!
Ty showed off his handstand skills. Awesome!
Here's Lance, our fearless [scary?!] MC. He was great.
This one? The fastest little girl ever on her pink and purple scooter. Look at Maya's hair flying out behind her. Love her sunglasses as well. She's a star!
Yesterday was our annual Primary Talent Show. We do this as one of our Quarterly Activities every year for a very simple reason. Every child can participate and we welcome every and any talent. We serve a hot dog lunch and then it's time for the show.
This year's MC was one of our 11-year-old Scout leaders and he was wonderful. He kept the show moving and held everyone's attention as well [no small job, when you're dealing with ages from nursery through adult].
We showcased lots of talents and you would have been in awe of the range. We had the usual piano/guitar/violin/vocal solos, a recorder duet, and even a harp solo [performed with the artist's pet parakeet perched on her shoulder! Yes, literally.] But we also had stand-up comedy, magic tricks, song-and-dance routines, origami demonstrations, handstands, and even a boy who solved the Rubik's Cube faster than I believed possible. [heck, anything is faster than what I can do. I can't solve those things!]
My personal favorite? One special little girl, who brought her pink scooter and performed on the stage. She was so fast and I was so proud of her! Can you guess who that was?
I think what I loved most was the look on each child's face as we applauded the talent they shared with us. And that, for me was what it was all about.

what a fun tradition!! I love the idea of a primary talent show....and yes, Maya looked darling! :) And NO you aren't biased in your opinion at all!! :)
looks like fun! i love that pic of maya blazin across the stage in her cool specs and scooter:)
Maya cracked me up...she'd have gone around that stage all day if they'd let her! She's so fearless (and Millie was begging for a "scooter like Maya's" for her upcoming birthday).
Wasn't the Talent Show wonderful? I swear, we have some pretty amazing kids. I loved it, as always!
What a fun time! Looks like everyone had a blast!
That looked so fun and for sure so cute! Love those little kids and their brave attempts to share their special talents.
What a great activity!! It sounds like your ward has some good talent. I bet those kids just loved it.

That's am awesome activity! Your hair looks great in the picture with Mason!
That is so great! How cute is Maya?
What a fun annual activity. From the sounds of it, it sounds like everyone participated and what a variety of talent. You seem like a very fun Primary President. That was one of my favorite callings and was not happy when they released me!
That was really so much fun! I too love the look on the kids' faces when everyone applauds! Lance is such a goof-ball! He enjoyed doing that...definitely the right guy for the job!
so much fun! i wish i'd been there for more of it, dagnabit.
Sounds like such a fun ward! You are so fun. Glad it was a great activity!
