Happy Fiesta!

It's Fiesta time in San Antonio! The city practically shuts down to have a huge party and it always falls around my birthday so it makes for a fun time with friends! Fiesta is huge and spans over 10 days. There are about 100 events from NIOSA, Oyster Bake, Alamo Heights Night, Fiesta Nueva (@St. John's), Texas Cavaliers River Parade and Battle of Flowers Parade just to name a few. There are about 3.5 million people that attend all these events.

There's one event that isn't listed on the official Fiesta Website that should be and that's Concordia's Day Care and Tiny Tots parade. Lucky for you, I went to it and took some pictures...


















Later that night I went to NIOSA. Again. It's probably been about 10 years since I've gone on a Thursday night. Thursday night of NIOSA is known as "college night". I like to call it jail bait, high school under-age drunk fest. You know those shirts that are blousy around the tummy but then have a band that goes around your hips and butt? I always thought those were supposed to be worn with leggings. Nope. Not at NIOSA. Girls just wear them alone. Just a shirt. No pants. No skirt. No leggings. I guess if guys can wear their jeans and belts tightened around the bottom of their bum then girls can wear just a shirt and call it a complete outfit.

Here are some girls with a more sophisticated "style". We had fun!!





On a side note, today at work, TJ and I thought we'd try and play a joke on Joy since she's always hiding under our desk to scare us or jump out from a corner. Since she's pregnant we didn't want to scare her really bad. Here's a harmless joke involving a phone, a piece of tape, me and TJ...

OK, the babies in their cribs in the parade are too cute. Fiesta sounds like so much fun. I haven't been in waaaay too long. I love the phone joke. I'm going to remember that one.
