Oyen & District Seniors’ Assoc. News, May 5
By Sarah Smith
What a beautiful way to start May, with a bright and shining sun. We can’t wait for the warm weather so we can start our gardens!
Mexico was the theme this week at the lodge!
We started off our Monday with a game of Mexican Train Dominos and finishing off the afternoon with a quick arm chair travel to Mexico where we got to do a guided tour throughout the country followed by some short videos of Mexican dancing!
Tuesday was all about Piñatas, lots of paper mache. We had to use all day to make them so that they would be ready for our party on Thursday!
On Wednesday, our morning began with flower crown making, and treating our taste buds to a special treat of pie taquitos. In the afternoon we celebrated our special birthdays of the month with some cake and ice cream!
On Thursday we celebrated our Cinco de Mayo party with decorations, a Mexican feast for dinner and piñata smashing! Our residents dressed in all white, red or green to represent the Mexican flag!
On Friday we finished off our week with a Friday night movie night and some bingo.
We sure had fun exploring Mexico and all the culture the country has to offer!
We hope everyone else had a wonderful week.
