A day with the Kids!!!

When we were in Mexico we went and had a fun activity day at one of the children's homes! It was so awesome!! It was nice to have my brother-in-law Brian there too cause he speaks spanish so he was able to communicate so well with the children!! We had a car race, we played simon says, we had a water ballon toss, a water ballon throwing with towels, we had a water sponge relay, a water ballon fight and last but not least a water gun fight. This went on forever....the kids loved it! Especially when my mom went up to a little girl and asked for her gun, all confused the little girl gave it to her and my mom turned and squirted her! With instant smiles all the children watching soon realized all adults were fair game haha so we got in on all the fun!!
These children seemed to have nothing and yet they were so happy! Even though we couldn't talk to them the connection we bagan to make with these children was so great!! I love little children, they can always find a way to bring a smile to your face when you were the one trying to make them happy :)

My family! (missing my sister Jamie and oh ya...my husband Kyle!)After the pinata!! Their shirts are full on candy!
The sponge relay!!
These boys were so funny!! They really wanted our attention and loved getting their picture taken!
My mom doing the ballon throw!
This little boy was so shy...it took him all day to let us play with him but by the time we were going to leave he was all smiles and wanted to play!! Too cute with a part of the pinata on his head as a hat :)
This picture was taken during the sponge relay. What happens is your fill a sponge up with water and pass it over your head in a line and try and beat the other teams. But as you pass the sponge the water comes out and this little girl was not very happy when the water dumped on her head!! He face is way to cute!!
