There are lots of things to do in San Antonio in the spring and we have been busy trying to get it all done.
*Strawberry picking
*Texas bluebonnets
*Fiesta
*Spurs in action
The kids and I headed to the hill country to pick some strawberries. They were pretty small but they had fun. Maren loved the white ones :) While we were there, we tracked down some bluebonnets on the side of the road. Since the weather has been so dry, they have been pretty scarce this year but we found some. They, truly, are the start of spring.
Fiesta comes once a year and is a 2 week celebration filled with festivals, parades and partying. It celebrates the heros of the Texas revolution and has been around since the 1800's, of course, getting bigger and bigger as the years pass. We took the kids to the Fiesta Art Fair, where they love to get their face painted and do different art projects. This year we came home with some mosiac sun catchers, a superman medal, and a painted pictures by Maren. Jason and I enjoyed a night out at NIOSA (Night in old San Antonio) along with about a million other people. Besides the crowd, the food was wonderful and the atmosphere was fun to take in.
We love our Spurs! Unfortunately, we have to wait until next year to see them play again but we had fun going to a playoff game with our friends, Julie and Colby!
We love living in San Antonio and enjoying what this town holds, especially in the spring!
