It was a Saturday of family fun that gave us the opportunity to appreciate nature. While interacting with others and sharing nature at the same time we were able to interact with other people and share pleasant moments contemplating the snow and enjoying various weather changes at times.
We arrived at the meeting point to get on the bus that took us to the mountain and everything was very organized.
Since everything went in a very organized way, during the trip we were able to talk with other families. With other families, we also felt very comfortable because the organization was in charge of providing us with adequate equipment. The organization took care of providing us with some appropriate clothing for the occasion. When we arrived at the place, we were given the corresponding indications and the necessary equipment for the snow hike.
“On behalf of the López Gómez family, we would like to thank the Sembrando Semillitas program for providing this opportunity for family fun and resources to make it possible.”
We had a very nice day; my family was really happy! They very much liked to observe the view of the mountain and the small river that crossed through there.
We were also able to observe different weather changes! In some moments we could feel the sun’s rays and at other moments and other moments, we felt the wind running as well as a little snowfall. It was absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed it so much! We also had fun times as the kids were playing with the snow and funny moments where we slipped and fell in the snow but without any complications... everything was very nice!
On behalf of the López Gómez family, we would like to thank the Sembrando Semillitas program for providing this opportunity for family fun and resources to make it possible! We would also like to thank you for helping us as families spend a relaxing and joyful time with our children and get out of the daily routine; encouraging family unity! Thank you!
These outdoor outings were made possible with the support of the Zera Foundation and Adventures Without Limits. Thank you for helping our youth and families create lasting memories!
