The next day

After making it to the Mission House, and through the night we had a long day ahead of us. By 7:45 in the morning all the kids were up and feed. What we were going to do now? For a while they just ran around in the court yard, a couple collapsed into tears. So we made a plan. We had to do something with the kids. We decided to take them to the zoo! We gathered them all together, put on their shoes, and the Mission Housed packed us snacks. Then we headed out to Picacho, a park with a zoo just minutes from the Mission House. The kids loved seeing the animals. It was a small zoo but had crocodiles, monkeys, pigs, peacocks, jaguar, raccoons, bunnies, among other animals. After seeing all the animals, we had a snack, then walked down through the rest of the park. There is a great view of the city from Picacho. There is also a very large statue of Jesus there that we went to see. The park was beautiful, and it gave us something to do with the kids for the day. I was so glad that we were able to take them to Picacho. After Picacho we headed back to the Mission House for lunch. After lunch we went back to the Ranch. Then I went to sleep. I was exhausted! It was a very eventful two days.
