Fiesta!

Fiesta is a big deal in San Antonio. It lasts about ten days long and is full of parades & parties. This coming friday even many schools will be closed for a big parade. Yesterday the National Guard had a Fiesta celebration of their own. The boys and I went a little bit early so we could stop by Chris's work and look at the helicopters. Zachary was so excited all morning saying he was going to "fly a green one". Of course we didn't get to fly but the boys had fun sitting in it and looking at it.

Zach is ready to go!

Then it was off to Fiesta! There was a big stage and live music, dancers, etc throughout the day. Lots of booths of food and games for the kids. There was also a pony ride. The boys were so excited to ride a pony, which they've done once before, but when it came time Alex sat on it and immediately asked to get back off. Zachary wanted to ride both ponies.

Both boys had very messy Spiderman ice creams.

With daddy's help, Zachary won a cowboy hat. He was so happy.

The Fife and Drum Corps performed. They play all over the country and even for the President. They had to be so hot yesterday in those uniforms.

We had a good time and maybe next year we'll go to some of the parades. One of them is even on the river.
