Master of Ceremonies~

BIS hosted its annual Talent Show
Saturday, April 17th.
Cody was one of five who announced
each act of the show.

Elena, Marika, Cody, Nash, Sofia
All ninth grade students.

Cody and Nash performed "The Twelfth Night"
skit they had presented during Arts Week for drama.

Nash and Cody spiced up the in between talent
acts with some fun of their own.
Nash has a cheeseburger costume on, made
for a five year old...
The act coming on was girls singing the
Britney Spears song "Piece of Me."
Nash asked if Cody wanted a "Piece of him..."
Cody's response was "You have too many calories."
They had some goofy ones about ketchup (catch up)...
Funny thing, not too many people laughed
except for the Americans and Brits,
language barrier's.....

Cody would sometimes announce acts on his own.

Some announcing was done with others.

Cody and Nash were also part of an
African story act.

Cody and Elena, she is from Spain.

Cody, Nash, and Sofia also from Spain.
Sofia is wanting them to sweep up the glitter
from an act, and they were giving her grief.

The Finale!

"Sky Trains"-

We had a little adventure this past weekend!
Airports began closing down throughout Europe,
starting Thursday, due to the Volcanic Ash in
the air. Jim was already in Karvina, CZ when
his flight was cancelled. Instead of holding out
to see if flights would resume he began the long
drive home, Friday night, to Bonn. He left at
5:30 pm and arrived in Bonn at 3am Saturday.
We were glad he chose to drive home, the flights
in Europe are still cancelled as of Sunday night.
We are hopeful this will not be the case when
we want to depart Wednesday morning to attend
Chandra's BYU graduation ceremonies and more
importantly her WEDDING!!!!

Once Jim had some rest we had to drive the
rental car to the Dusseldorf airport, an hour
away, where his car was parked.
As we walked to the parking garage I heard a
quiet motor sound and realized it was above
my head! This is a "Sky Train" that takes
passengers between locations. This is a
docking spot where you jump on and off.

What a fascinating concept to place it above
the ground, minimizing ground space being used.

You can see the road below unobstructed
by the "Sky Train."

Another great view.
