Family Day at the End of the School Year

Before summer vacation, there was Family Day at the elementary school where 2 of the Sanchez kids attended.  They're big into families here.
Groups of parents performed dances in traditional dress...

And each class of children.

This was one of the best kid's group, all with painted faces being mimes.

Some parents dancing in less traditional dress!


A group of kids dressed as caballeros...

And behind them, another group doing a sort of maypole dance.

The cute kid on the left is Fernando, one of the boys in our adopted family



Very pretty dance with colorful dresses, all twirly

And kids on the left with interesting masks

José Carlos with his spiky hairdo, Terri, and Elsa


This one was a hoot---parents dancing to a Spanish version of Jail  House Rock!

Guiliana and José Carlos

Nancy, Elsa's sister

A repeat---sorry!

More parents dancing

Kids

At one point in a dance, we saw this structure with religious pictures on it, various saints, Mother Mary, and God at the top (at least it looked like God.  However that is!).  Then the structure started exploding---it was lined with firecrackers!

Parents, with perhaps some sisters.  This was an all-boys' school.

José Carlos' class did an aerobics routine to music.

There he is again.

Pretty Elsa!

This little kid---4 or 5 years old---sang and danced  amazingly well---the next Michael Jackson,  I think!





Fernando was proud of his performance!
