Another wet day…but it was one of the best days I have had on this trip thus far. We visited the children at a school today. The principal met us at the bottom of the hill to welcome us and then led us to his school. The children were so welcoming. They even made us a banner to welcome us. All the children enjoyed meeting Morgan. They all wanted to take pictures with her. We played some games and made bracelets with the children. Just like many of you, the children in Mexico enjoyed using the camera to take pictures. I can’t wait to show you the pictures that they took.
All the children loved the bracelets that you made for them. They especially liked the book that we donated to them. After a performance by the children, the teachers and some family members made us a delicious lunch. We enjoyed guacamole and chips and rice and beef tortillas. I ran into many of the children as I was walking down the hill to get back to the bus. They were so excited to wave goodbye to us. Some of the children had so much fun that they asked if we could play with them tomorrow. Although it was sad leaving the children, Morgan and I had a great time and will remember this day for a very long time!

The children enjoyed making bracelets!
We played with hoola hoops and used different body parts like our neck, leg, arm and waist. We had so much fun! We also played a game of Huevo, Huevo, Mariposa. Does anyone know what game that is?
The children also loved the bracelets that you and your families made at our fiesta. They asked me what all of your names were. They liked that they had friends who had the same names as the children at the CDC.
The children were so excited to take pictures and spend time with us. They held our hands all day long and had the biggest smiles on their faces!
We discussed what Huevo, Huevo, Mariposa means with Agostina. Marcos said, “It means they played a game where you pretend to be an egg and you take turns being butterflies”. Giannamarie liked he hoola hops and said she has one like that at home.
