Fiesta time

In San Antonio we have a 14 day party called Fiesta each year.  When I say "We" I mean the whole city.  On Friday schools are closed for the Battle of Flowers parade.  My friend Jennifer's family has a big party each year.  It is the BEST way to see the parade.

 

UT and aTm take turns marching in the day parade and the night parade (Fiesta Flambeau Night Parade ).  This was aTm's year to march in the day parade. A few of our friend's stood when the aTm band came by (yes they are aggie and we forgive them).  Andra asked why they were standing and I told her that it was their school band.  She said "ok", and did the Hook em sign.  It was great!

Then on Saturday we did the Pooch Parade.  Our dogs could not do the parade this year due to health problems but Andra loves all the dogs each year so we had to go.

 

 not your normal dog walk

 

Then it was off to the Texas Co-op party

Andra LOVES face paint!

Just a little tired 

fun at the Katy's

Katy teaching Andra to drive

They have a zip line in their backyard and Garrett gave Andra a turn (from less then half way up)

She loved it

This is the last thing Andra needs !

Thanks Court !

post Zoo ride

After the zoo we let Andra ride her bike.

By then the Zoo area was crazy due to Fiesta events that were at the zoo and garden area

Family Zoo Day

We took Andra to the zoo for some family fun time

 This bear was cute and getting to look for food

 Andra loves to feed the birds

 and of course the butterfly house

Bluebonnet time in Texas

We took Bluebonnet picks in Amanda's front yard this year

Easter

Easter party was at Alma's again this year.

Chase started the party by losing his first tooth!

The girls loved the bouncy house

Andra and Cici playing in the hamiock

Then came the pinata that did not want to break

The kids could not do it, so the Dad's got in on it

Mark ended up taking the top off and Greg turned it upside down for the

kids to get round one of the candy

 

Then the Easter egg hunt

round 2 of candy

 

More bouncy house time then Andra felt it needed to be cleaned

When the party was over, we walked across the street to come home and do eggs

Spring Break Thursday

Lunch with Daddy

Then shopping, and the park (where we saw Micha)

and home to bake!

Spring Break Wednesday

Wednesday was Kiddie Park day.  For those from SA this is a staple.  It was there when I was growing up and most of the same rides are still there.

 

 one of Andra's favorite

For Spring Break they had a petting zoo

 then to the boats

and back to the flying saucers

a few times

Then we went home and had a picnic and a "movie stand".

This is what Andra calls making popcorn at home and watching a movie.

I love Spring Break!
