FIESTA!

Every year in April, San Antonio celebrates FIESTA. This 10 day celebration doesn't seem to commemorate anything special or historical, its just a time to party. We celebrate FIESTA, to quote a co-worker. Imagine my confusion after I moved to this town (and country) when I found out my new employer did not recognize Easter as a holiday, but would pay me holiday time for "Parade Day". Which I have never taken, by the way.

Over the years, I have done some serious "Fiesta-ing", as evidenced by the cups (if you've ever been to Fiesta, you know what the cups mean:))
This year, things were a little different. Instead of cups, it was bottles. Emerson went through 2 at Fiesta this year. We went to our one and only Fiesta event this year, the King William Fair for a few hours on Saturday. It was very humid and very crowded (as most Fiesta events are prone to be), but still fun. Emerson started out with pants and socks in addition to her onsie. However, one poop later and did I mention it was humid? She ended up in onsie only.
After our "crazy" Fiesta party, we all went home and had a two hour nap. Now that's what I'm talking about!
