Mañana Mexicana

Today we went downtown to see what was going on in the zocalo (the downtown square) for independence weekend. We heard an orchestra, saw beautiful traditional dancers in colorful costumes, ate churros, blew bubbles and the boys climbed up onto a firetruck and met real firemen who even let them try on their helmets. We had a great time! Tonight is the "grito de independencia" and tomorrow is the actual independence day.

Feliz dia de la independencia

the only thing cuter than this picture is watching these little guys run around waving their hats and yelling "VIVA MEXICO!"

First Day of Preschool

Alex started preschool on Monday. It is a bilingual school so half the day is Spanish and the other half is in English. So far he seems to like it a lot...though he cries a little when I drop him off :( This is a picture of him in his "uniform".
