FIESTA!

After living in Texas for about 4 years we decided it was about time to participate in the famous yearly event of FIESTA!  Fiesta San Antonio has been happening since 1891 and has been said to be the "Party with a Purpose" because the funds raised benefit the community and charities.  This event is not one day only… not even close… it lasts for about two weeks with daily events all over downtown San Antonio.  There are rodeos, carnivals, feasts, sports tournaments, art exhibits, live music, parades and much more to take part in.  We chose to attend just one festival on just one of the days.  It turned out to be a bit hot, congested, loud and crazy… but it was fun and i'm glad we went, even if it is just to say we went (no more shocked reactions when we admit to having never been). 

Cascarones! (conffetti filled eggs)

A sweet old lady pinned Finn. He bit down on it Olympic style.

We found a man with an outrageous number of Fiesta pins. He and Finn traded their pins and took a pic. The guy was nice but a little strange which explains the crying from Mister Finn. 

Spencer, Dawn and Victoria joined us. Victoria was all smiles!

 

 

 We ended our evening enjoying a live concert along the Riverwalk.
