Fiesta 2011 Begins

Fiesta just ended this past weekend but I want to share some of the thing the Crowell Crew did this year for San Antonio’s celebration! What is Fiesta you might ask or wonder? I did too a couple years ago and now I embrace the time of color, smiling, queens, and flowers. Well, San Antonio started FIESTA in 1891 as a one-parade event. This has now turned into a huge festival and celebration of the city with over 100 events over a period of ten days. We weren’t able to participate in as much as I would have liked, as it was quarter close for me at Whole Foods, but it was still a wonderful time to spend with friends and family.

We started our Fiesta Activities with Alamo Heights Night.

Landry and Laney were super excited about FIESTA. Clearly. At least they look festive. Once we arrived and everyone was situated I think the girls had a great time...

 

 Laney loves cotton candy as does her Momma. This might have been the culprit to her getting sick Friday night though.

 Waiting in line with Daddy to do the bounce house and Laney was uber excited.

 Landry was content watching her big sister have a blast bouncing around!

We found one of the high jump mats for Landry to play on since the rides weren't for toddlers. She had fun just running away from us! Matthew took one side and I took the other so she couldn't escape.

 I gotcha Landry Lou!

Laney climbed this blow up slide and slid down about ten times. She had a wonderful time and there is a lot of energy in that little girl. Her smile makes my heart so happy.

That was our first event for FIESTA and it wore me out. Crowds of people--well--I'm not a huge fan. But we had fun with the kids and I'm glad we participated.

Much more to come....
