Children's Day!

Welcome to Children's Day, yes it is a national holiday and yes the boys, kinda, had the day off!
The boys school took their students and the students parents to The Expo Gardens. The gardens are set up to show different countries gardens so they have many beautiful displays of national gardens, flower beds, flower covered floats and a large vegetable growing area.


The boys were met by there teachers dressing in minority people clothing!
This is Micaias class and his teacher is in pink.

This is Elias and Isaias class, their teacher is at the front right hand corner.


The lady in the middle is Elias and Isaias teacher. Along with two other friends of ours!


Isaias trying on one of the teachers hats


Each different class "showed off" what they could do. They all sang a couple of songs!


Here is Elias and Isaias class doing a song about sleeping.


The school had a bunch of different costumes that they let the students try on and play with! Here is micaias being a cow with a little help from our good friend who joined us that day!

Isaias as a tiger, again with our friends help.


Elias being very cultural and giving the peace sign while having his picture taken


This is one of the minority dances that the park performed for the students.


Right before lunch the kids had to draw a picture about what they saw at the park.


Eating lunch! Always a favorite time of the day!

Below are things that we were able to do after lunch! There was a museum area showing historical and cultural things as well as a few different greenhouse areas growing flowers, vegetables, desert plants, and tropical plants!



A very detailed ship replica complete with cannons and fire towers!

The tropical plant greenhouse.

Elias took pictures of everything! I have 75 pictures of veggies and other things!

This was in the veggie growing area. The tent looking things are for growing squash plants and different vine type plants.

We stayed at the park from 8 am until 3:30pm. We came home tired but had had a great time!
