NIOSA

NIGHT IN OLD SAN ANTONIO...NIOSA!

This past week was Fiesta in San Antonio! It's a HUGE deal here. Kids were out of school last Friday for a parade that was downtown. There were 3 parades in all last week too! All the stores have "Fiesta Sales"...and EVERYDAY for a week there is a celebration of some sort but we only did NIOSA. Next year we hope to do more! Cascarones...or "confetti eggs" OR as Ana calls them "crack a head" are just part of the festivities! People who have never been "cracked" are ALWAYS shocked...it's funny! (That barrette in Ana's hair is a plastic egg with confetti glued in it so she had her very own "crack a head" the whole night!) My Uncle Lester and Aunt Carol went with us to NIOSA.

NIOSA had a fun area with games for little and big kids! There is TONS of food and Ana LOVED these "Shypoke Eggs". It was just a big chip with cheese and a jalapeno in the center...she gave the jalapeno to us! :) But she must have eaten 8 of these "eggs"!

There was music and we danced and played but by 8:15 it was shoulder to shoulder packed with people and we went on home. If you want to visit San Antonio....look into next April during Fiesta week! SO FUN and SO WORTH IT!
