This year for Cinco de Mayo, we learned about the history behind the holiday! Residents learned about the Battle of Puebla and how a small army defeated a big one. All were surprised to learn about how the little guys won. We also enjoyed some tasty snacks made by our wonderful Food Service Coordinator, Justin, which included guacamole, pico de gallo (salsa), and chicken quesadillas. What a fun and educational way to spend the day!
The residents had a delightful afternoon sunbathing in the courtyard, basking in the warm rays while surrounded by blooming flowers and lush greenery. Settled comfortably in their chairs, they enjoyed the peaceful ambiance, chatting and laughing together as they soaked up the sun. Some sipped refreshing drinks, while others listened to their favorite music, creating a joyful atmosphere.
In preparation for Halloween, the residents had a blast creating a colorful candy monster to hold their treats. Armed with vibrant construction paper, googly eyes, and plenty of glue, they crafted a whimsical creature that was both spooky and fun. As they filled it with an assortment of candy, laughter filled the room, and the excitement for Halloween grew. The finished candy monster stood proudly, a testament to their creativity and teamwork, ready to bring joy to the festivities!
During our recent cooking class, the residents had a delightful time making cinnamon butter popcorn. With enthusiasm, they measured out the ingredients and took turns stirring the buttery mixture infused with a hint of cinnamon. The aroma filled the room, creating a cozy atmosphere. Once the popcorn was tossed in the sweet blend, everyone gathered to taste their creation, and the smiles on their faces said it all.
