Roof Dogs 2013




The "Roof Dogs" from Christ Church Plano came to month to spend a week of fun with the kids at Sagrada Familia.
Waldir is showing a picture he drew of what he wants to do with his life: artist, architect, pilot, athlete.  Wow-that's a lot!  Tio Nozar looks proud.
Hermelinda shares her picture.  She wants to work in communications, maybe on the radio.
The kids broke into two groups for their lessons.
Pamela seems to be having fun.
Yasmin enjoys the lessons too.  Gimena, not so much!
I'm not sure what Tia Karen is dressed as but it seems to be part of the lesson!
Waldir and Hermelinda listening to the lesson.

Arelis shows her drawing.  She wants to be a singer.
Teri and Laurie loved to sing with the girls!
Gimena gets a little help from Tia Tracey.
The infamous balloon game!
And a round of volleyball.
Tia Vicki watches the game.
Tia Toni and Yasmin - both beautiful!
Tracey has a chat with Diego Armando and Manuel.
Tia Kelly leads the craft.
Tia Karen works with the older girls.
Susana gives the Roof Dogs a dance lesson.
Everyone gets in on the fun.

There was also some singing involved..in English and Spanish.
On Thursday, we had lunch in the mall food court.  The kids really liked that!
Everyone got to choose what they wanted.

Then there was more dancing in Happy Land.


Some air hockey at Happy Land.
I think Waldir stayed on this guitar game for awhile.
 
Hermelinda and Estrella on the dance game.








And then Friday was, of course, the annual performance put on by the kids for their beloved Roof Dogs.  Wilber and Juan Diego follow Diego Armando's lead. 

The girls looked very pretty in their traditional costumes.
And in their more modern costumes too!
More traditional costumes.
