On Christmas day, after checking out what Santa left and eating a big breakfast, we decided to go to a cool park. Karl and Hector served in Saltillo at the same time, although not as companions, and they remember coming to this park to play basketball and play on the slides. We fed pumpkin seeds to the ducks, and then went over to the slides. There's a hill leading up to the duck pond, and on the hill are a bunch of concrete slides that have been painted with something that makes them slippery. There were at least ten different slides, and the kids all had a blast playing on them.

Elena takes Chiara down. She loved it and went down on her own several times, too. She even tried head first a couple times.

Daniel heads down head first.
As does Stephen. Stephen and Joseph also tried "skiing" - sliding down while standing. They always fell before making it to the bottom, but had a great time.

In the evening we all went to see a movie. Movies here are either subtitled or dubbed, so we find subtitled ones that we can listen to in English. The theaters are great, and they are cheaper than in the states.
THey have pretty fun parks in MExico!
ReplyDeleteThat is as good as sledding down the hill without the geting cold and wet! So did you see "The Princess and the Frog" yet? There have been quite a few good movies out lately.
