This week seemed especially crazy! Our school had its very first pep rally...and this was the first time that grades 1-12 would have an assembly together. Before the pep rally they told us to have our kids make posters and then they came by and gave them all whistles. The little kids were clueless as to what was going to happen at this pep rally??? While my kids were making signs, this girl asked if she could draw a pizza on hers. Uhmm...okay...well turned out that she thought I kept saying we were going to have a "pepporoni" instead of "pep rally". During the rally, each class did a little performance and then "cheerleaders" called all the teachers to the middle of the court to do "jump shake your booty" : ) So funny...but the best part was just watching the little kids faces...they just looked shock ( but then again, can't blame them after watching your teachers having to dance : )
The afternoon was so crazy ( the sound of 6oo kids blowing whistles) that Kelly had to call of an emergency party at Casa Benny!! Kelly's sister and two friends were also in town visiting, so it was a nice way for them to meet our friends.
On Saturday we drove to Ponce to visit the Castillo Serralles, a castle that was built by the Serralles family ( owned one of the biggest rum distelleries in PR). The second generation had built the castle in the early 1900's and then the grandaughter sold the home to the government for 400,000 dollars about 40 years ago. Today the home is worth 30 million!! It was beautiful!!
