It is that time of year again: El Grito:
Celebrating Mexican Independence Day with Casa Hogar Douglas.
A priest, Miguel Hidalgo, rang a bell at midnight to call people to fight on behalf of Mexico. Starting with just farmers who were willing to fight. And that is how the battle for Mexico began. This Battle lasted for 10 years.
Rodo was the lucky man who was able to do el grito (the yell for Mexico) this year. VIVA MEXICO!!!
Trooper also got dressed up for the occasion! We had games for the kids. People were dressed up in authentic Mexican dressings, and the best part was the food. We had corn with mayonnaise, chile, cheese. We also enjoyed a roasted pig. Everyone had so much fun with the games and music.
