Tarde Alegre...Happy Afternoon

Last Friday our school held a family fun day carnival. The teachers and parents all came together to put on a ton of games and sell carnival type foods, minus the hot dogs and cotton candy, to raise money for more play equipment for the school. It was a lot of fun and we had a much bigger turn out than last year, which was the first and was rainy and cold. I set up a small table with three plastic tub containers stacked like a pyramid that the kids could knock down with a little ball. It was a pretty big hit with the littler crowd and if they knocked down only one they "won" a cup of "tuti-fruit", or fruit salad, bu they did have to pay 3 lempira(15 cents) to enter, or they could just buy the tuti fruti. i overestimated and told all 22 of my parents to bring enough fruit for 30 people. it just kept coming and coming in big containers, some even brought it in sand pails made for play at the beach, but we ended up selling it all. we let kinder sell some because they ran out of theirs pretty fast, but it all went! Praise God, and we, just my first grade class, made about $35 for the school. It was a really fun day.
