Dia Mundial da Criança – World Children’s Day in Penamacor

It was the boy’s turn to take centre stage at this week’s festa as our local town of Penamacor celebrated World Children’s Day (Dia Mundial da Criança) in style. Portugal is really child friendly and it is fair to say that the Portuguese love children and go out of their way to cater for them. So of course children’s day was going to be a big event, even in our tiny town.
First stop was the foam cannon, which in hindsight wasn’t the smartest move as we only had one change of clothes and both boys ended up pretty soaked! Chaos was straight in there, pretty much head first, covered in foam. Mayhem was far more reluctant and luckily for us, only paddled in, just far enough so that he could grab enough foam to throw at us both. There were also a huge array of inflatables, dance-a-thons and a free lunch. Another fantastic Portuguese Festa.

Ha! Never mind the kids – I’d have quite fancied playing in all that foam myself …
There was nothing you were going to do to stop them. They wanted to play with the foam cannon…..they played with the foam cannon! I’ve always found Portugal to be very child friendly. Thing is, seeing your pics, I’d kinda want to join in!
Haha at first I thought it was snow! This looks such fun, reminds me of foam parties we used to have.
Have a great Sunday and thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto

I know it was snow at first glance but ohhh my goodness, I think both my boys would dive in head first into that!
