Kids Day! It is something I always
remember asking why America doesn't have it when I was younger. We
have mothers day and fathers day and I was a selfish little brat who
wanted her own day too. Well better late than never, Paraguay has
kids day and youth day (two separate days) and people go all out!
The school throws a festival filled with chocolate milk (the treat of
choice for little paraguayans) and music and dancing and its always a
ball.
But this year kids day, August 16th, fell on a Sunday and for weeks I kept asking around what activities were planned in the community to celebrate kids day and nobody knew of anything. I was shocked and decided to take it upon myself to throw them a celebration in my yard. And it was a blast! Almost thirty kids came, some who I hadn't met yet, and we played games for days it seemed. Coloring, sack races, pin the tail on the elephant, tug of war, face painting, tails, wheelbarrow races, and more! The pictures explain it better than I can so here you go!
