On October 1 we celebrated Kid's Day. It is a big day in Guatemala. It is similar to Mother's Day and Father's Day but all about the kids.
We began the morning with a Dunkin' Donuts breakfast. I added eggs and black beans to go with it because the boys love them so much.
We then did a full morning of school.
For many years now I have made this same cake for Kid's Day. The boys look forward to it. We enjoyed it on our morning break.
We finished around noon and then loaded up for a fun afternoon outing. Our first stop was for lunch at Pollo Campero in Antigua. This is another Kid's Day tradition of ours.
Ice cream for dessert before we left.
Walking through Antigua's Central Park.
Next stop was Finca Florencia in Santa Lucia. It is just a short drive up the mountain from Antigua. We did a Saturday day trip there several weeks ago with some friends and had a wonderful time. We have been wanting to return ever since but with it being rainy season it is risky to go in the afternoons. We decided to try it and had beautiful weather.
The park has trails for hiking and bike riding. There are open fields for playing and plenty of covered pavilions for grilling. There are swings and playgrounds spread out everywhere. It is a perfect place to go for an outdoor, fresh air adventure. We took a soccer ball and a Frisbee to help pass the time. The boys played hard!
We spent over an hour hiking through the woods.
The boys enjoying the mirador (lookout).
There were several families from a local Baptist church there that we got to visit with. The kids enjoyed getting to play together.
We stayed until it closed and had a blast. We cannot wait to go back again soon.
We then drove on to San Lucas to get the boys a haircut. They both love going to the barber shop!
We ended the day with supper at San Martin.
It was a great day. We squeezed in as much as we could. We all finished the day tired but happy. We are thankful for these two and the joy they bring to us as parents.
