Alina's school didn't have class Monday through Wednesday, so she's happily having a 2-day school week. Many schools give the kids the whole week off.
Anyhoo, we celebrated this very special day with a yummy breakfast of their choice, and then packed a picnic and headed off to Mangabeiras park. The place was packed! There was no space to lay out a mat, but thankfully we found a picnic table that had just been vacated.
Having a picnic at Mangabeiras park was Alina's idea and she's aware that she only has a few more years to choose what to do for Children's Day. Soon enough Laura will be talking and choosing activities and then they'll have to come to an agreement.
So, we had a delightful picnic of provolone, mozzarella, salami, champignon, etc., etc. sandwiches, and grape juice. Alina's favorite. Then we strolled around, looked at the huge fish, bought pinwheels, had popsicles, looked at the things some indians were selling, got a seed bracelet for Alina, and played in a wooden playground.
Once we were back home, the girls went on the trampoline, watched a movie, went on the trampoline again, had a pillow fight on the trampoline, and then ended this wonderful day with a yummy wannabe banana split.
Time for a picnic:
Alina insisted on having a tuna fish sandwich (with her favorite trimmings, of course):

A smile, at last!

And the copycat:
Fish!
Pinwheels!
Taking in all the sights and sounds:
She actually wanted to pose for a picture with the indian. Progress. He's a Pataxó indian from the northeast of the country. One of the other indians had a pouch made from a coati, like literally, the entire animal. Strangely, she was fascinated with it. I thought she would have felt sorry for the pooch.
Leaving the park and the Serra do Curral in the background:

Great way to end a day!
