Viva Fiesta!

This past weekend we participated in our very first Fiesta events! Fiesta is over a week of celebrating that goes on here in San Antonio (what exactly we are celebrating, well, I still haven't quite figured that out)! We were lucky enough to get to hang out with our sweet friends Cayce and Joel, and thanks to Cayce's generous parents Mike and Lil we had the best seats in the city, literally....


We spent Friday afternoon and Saturday evening in their beautiful hotel suite in downtown. There were floor to ceiling windows which gave us the perfect spot for taking in the parades (the air conditioning and the company were awesome too)...

The floats were impressive and so were these crazy fiesta hats...

We were surrounded by our kids, who squealed at every new float, and beautiful babies of course...

Emme enjoyed hanging out with her daddy...

He made sure she caught some of the action...

It was a great afternoon for some family time (I'm still soaking up any chance we get to do stuff with Nate)...

The next morning we were off to the "Pooch Parade", which is just that! Lot's of dogs, many of them dressed up, paraded down the street. This was right up Carter's alley and she loved it...

We were accompanied by our favorite San Antonio pooches....

We like their mom a lot too...

Dogs definitely bring out the best in people...

And put a smile on your face...

Later that afternoon Carter was feeling full of the "Fiesta Spirit" before we headed to largest night parade Flambeau....

It was a fun filled weekend and a memorable First Fiesta experience! We'll be looking forward to next year...

Oh, I want to do the pooch parade! I'll have to remember that for next year. You are full of great ideas for bigger kids. Claire's crazy about Burly, so she would eat that up!
