The River Parade

We also attended the 2011 Texas Cavaliers River Parade this year for FIESTA. We were able to get tickets through Matthew's firm and sat right on the River walk in Downtown SA with the Santoyo's. The parade was wonderful, although I missed Eva Longoria! I did see our neighbors, a previous Queen, and that was really neat for the girls. Laney believes she lives next door to a truly real Princess.


The parade and event was quite crowded and Matthew and I split up for a little while. He took Landry to eat and I took Laney to get her face painted. It was her first time to do this! I kind of assumed she would be hesitant and just want a small flower or balloon. We waited in line for quite some time and eventually we made our way to her turn. She had strawberry lemon aid to keep her distracted.

Landry and her first popsicle of the evening.

The face painter asked Laney what she wanted painted on her face. Laney responded "a kitty cat". Then she proceeds that she wanted it to be pink! Well, the lady asked if she wanted it on her cheek or all over her face. Without hesitation Laney's response "My whole face" as she points with her finger in a circular motion at the diameter of her face.



Here we go....I'm kind of freaking out at this point.

Ta Da! Laney taking a peak at herself. At this point Matthew had found us and saw the pink kitty. He too was surprised. Laney was very serious and we had a hard time washing her face off when we got home.

This is my favorite picture because I know that Laney look. She was proud and coy in the same moment. She loved being a pretty in pink kitty cat!

I just love what Landry is doing with her mouth in this picture with Daddy--too cute!

 Watching the parade and taking in all of the floats. Landry joined in with the waving as the different ones went by.

We stayed a little later than planned but the girls were having a lot of fun.
