Festa Junina #1

Alina's school cancelled this year's Festa Junina due to the junior high and high school students not wanting to participate, etc. Huge disappoinment! They did have a small celebration for the 5th Grade on down. It wasn't as cool as last year's, but it sure was better than nothing. Even though she wasn't completely better from the tummy bug she'd had earlier that week, Alina was still able to participate in her group's dance, play, and eat a bit, so it was fun.

We called it Festa Junina # 1 because we're still gonna go to the one at Laurie's school, which will be in the beginning of July. Yay! More fun! ... and good food. :)
