Bike Rodeo/Fiesta

Doug & I pretty much spent the morning at the kids school today. It was the bike rodeo at Thornton Elementary. Believe it or not it was freezing this morning! It was more of an obstacle course and each grade level competed with one another. Jared won for his grade level! He was so excited and will receive a trophy for it. Once that was over we went home and ran a few errands and I was back up at school for the annual Fiesta Party! The 3rd graders ate a mexican meal and played bingo. Kinder had a little mini carnival which included cracking eggs on each others heads (their favorite part) It is a big thing here to empty the eggs out of the shells and refill them with confetti. Fiesta is more of a Mexican Mardi Gras an excuse to party and eat lots of food in my opinion. The kids even get out of school tomorrow for what the call "The Battle of the Flowers" There are tons of festivities down town and have tons of food. I am excited to get the poster for fiesta this year it is pretty cool and similar to the ones they have for Jazz Fest in New Orleans.
