November 20th is an important day in Mexican history as they celebrate the Mexican Revolution, led by peasants in a grassroots uprising against dictatorship. If interested in a the quick history, http://www.inside-mexico.com/revolucion.htm. The kids were in parades today to commemorate the Revolution and they were cute!
The Revolutionaries, Daniel, Yaneli and Poncho

Yaneli shows me how it was done!
Poncho shares his sombrero with his little brother, Aaron.
The older kids went and marched in their uniforms. Franc and Fede finished and were a little tired and grouchy. :)
The 7th graders had a parade in the morning. They also just marched in uniform and Uriel went, too cool to march, but just to hang out. ;)
Parades are so different in Mexico. No candy, no firetrucks or sirens, just lots of kids, dressed up and marching around the block. I missed the candy. ;)
