Mango Mania

In America, the ultimate treat for a 7 year-old kid is their favorite kind of ice cream, a candy bar or some other sugar-loaded treat but here in the Dominican, kids are absolutely NUTS about mangos. TJ and Holly have several mango trees outside of their apartment and everyday, without fail you can hear " Tomas! Tomas!" at the gate as they call for TJ to come give them permission to search for mangos that are ripe and ready to eat! There is absolutely nothing else these kids would rather do than climb up high in the trees and look for their delicious snack! I love simple way these kids live and the excitement they have over something as small as a mango. Alfredo and Nino happily posed for pictures to show off their prized snack!
