Day 3 Rehearsal, Stormy Weather, Cooking, Plan B, and Bubba Gump

Aieee! What a busy and rainy day! We had to cut bait on the plan to do African Dancing after our morning rehearsal, because the rain was coming down sideways. Instead we had some resting and drying off time in the hotel before the New Orleans School of Cooking demo.

We finally ended at Bubba Gump, where our kids got to share a meal with each other and some other choir kids from the festival.
