Viva Fiesta!

Last Friday we took Olivia to her first parade. Every year San Antonio celebrates Fiesta. On the Friday of Fiesta week the schools are closed and many people celebrate the Battle of Flowers by going to the Battle of Flowers parade. That's where we row on the 7th row of the military bleachers, right under the overpasses where two highways intersect. It was a great day! We all had a great time. Olivia waved at all of the passing floats and people. She made friends with two little kids sitting near us and was very well behaved--even after 4.5 hours!

Why aren't you watching the parade?

A few hours into the day...

All of the balloons had to be lowered to get under the over passes.

The Dallas Cowboy's cheerleaders.



The Queen and her U.T. boots!

The back of her dress, with the capital building. Lovely!

Of course there are lots more pictures but we didn't want to bore you with all of them. It was a day that we will not soon forget! Happy Fiesta everyone!
