When I was growing up I do remember asking my parents the question. "If there is a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, why is there never a Children's Day?" Well, I am sure you know what their reply was. "Every day is Children's Day ..."
Here in Mongolia, Children's Day is June 1st. It marks the official end of the school year (unless you are going to the Bridge International College or the International School of Ulaanbaatar). It also marks the first day of our short Mongolian Summer. The city was fully alive this day, with the city square full of rides and games for the kids - and people everywhere. Folks were strolling along Peace Avenue eating Ice Cream and fruit and having an overall good time. To quote Robert Lamm of the band Chicago, it was a lot like "Saturday in the park, you'd think it was the Fourth of July..." (minus the man singing Italian songs...)
