Feliz Navidad!

We've been learning about the Spanish and Mexican history of California for school. So, when deciding what theme I would do for our Christmas Day Camp, I decided to do Christmas in Mexico. We read a Mexican Christmas folktale, learned about Three Kings Day, did a poinsettia craft, made galletas de Navidad,
ate tamales for lunch,
and had a pinata!

It was a fun day and I am so grateful for the traditions we've established with our homeschool friends!

Earlier this month I took the kids, with friend Bradley, to La Asistencia in Redlands. It was like a mini mission the padres built out here so they would have more land to graze their livestock. Who knew? It was a quaint little place rich with history!

In Charity's world, "field trip" and "stroller" are synonymous!
