Viva Fiesta
Monday, April 20, 2009 at 06:00AM It's Fiesta time here in the San Antonio area. And that means there are tons of events going on in and around town. Most of it is family friendly. Some of it includes arts and crafts, some of it includes kings and queens, some of it includes sports, all of it includes a lot of culture and a lot of eating. We headed downtown yesterday on what couldn't have been a more beautiful day.
We first stopped at Market Square to eat at one of our favorite SA restaurants...
...and of course to hear the mariachi play.
Then we took took the girls to a charreada, which is a Mexican rodeo. For Fiesta, they also had mariachias and ballet folklorico dancers. Of course, nothing beat watching the girls in their pretty dresses ride side saddle without falling.
Our lovelies at the beginning of our festivities. Natalya had just eaten a yellow snow cone so her lips are orange.
And at the end. Her thumb had just fallen out of her mouth. We will try to make it downtown again before Fiesta is over next weekend.
Hmm, My Best Shot for this Monday... my girlies, 'cause they make me happy.

Beautiful girls, and such a fun time! Maybe one year I'll make it so SA for Fiesta...
Oh, wonderful shots. Love the one of the two of them - so sweet and beautiful they are. :)
Those are all great shots, but I agree that the one of the girls is best. They look so happy and the flowers on their heads are so colorful!
I used to live there, but never braved it to Fiesta...Love Mi Tierra at Market Square...there bakery...especially pan dulce is divine!
Love all the vivid colors :)
Wonderful colourful memories. The girls look divine in their costumes even with orange lips :-)
It's great to live amongst so much culture I think.
Yes, all of those shots are wonderful, but I love the ones of your girls the most. So sweet and ethereal yet so full of life and color. Great!
That looks like a delightful weekend and your girls are gorgeous! Happy Monday. =)
Oh yes! The shot of your girls is fantastic. They are so beautiful and they look so happy.
Love, Love, Love Mariachis. My favorite. Oh, and the patience thing is by far the hardest. I am definitely doing better but maybe that's because I'm not working anymore? Also one of the goals! Ha!
Wow. That looks like a fabulous time. The one of the girls is precious.
These pictures are beautiful, and your narration of the day is too! I love the headpieces and the dresses. Your girls are breathtaking as well. Great shots!

That looks like a beautiful and fun time. I've never been to a mexican rodeo before, but I bet it was lots of fun to watch. Any kind of rodeo is I've decided. :)
