Today was a sunshiney day. Literally (of course) and it was just overall a fun, normal day at El Jordan. The schools are on strike in Santa Cruz, so on a day that we usually have 3 kids in the mornings, we had 15. So, with one baby in a stroller, one being carried, and a string of 13 kids, we crossed two busy avenues and headed to the park. I was so proud of the kids when they reached out and be-friended another little boy who was alone at the park. So I invited him to eat snack with us. He was all smiles. I reached into the bag though, to find something that made me chuckle a little. We had asked two of the older boys to get snack together before we left. We told them to get one pack of crackers per kid and one banana. I found about 25 packs of crackers and 6 bananas.
