What a beautiful weekend it was here in SA, TX! It started on Friday with another trip to the zoo with Francisco and Rocio. The kids had a blast playing at the river bank. Cade enjoyed the water very much, but not nearly as much as he enjoyed eating the sand...mmmm!On Saturday we were joined by Aunt Judy and Uncle MC who came down for a visit from Dallas. The weather couldn't have been more enjoyable! After cocktails on our new patio, we set off to grab dinner at one of our local restaurants before heading off to check out Luminaria. This was the third year for this huge local arts event. It takes place right downtown and is within walking distance of our home. It was pretty exciting! Lots of light shows, many stages with different dance and musical performances, and art exhibits featuring local artists. Lots and LOTS of people showed up as it was a free event. (The reports say that last year 130,000 people attended.)
The kids really enjoyed themselves. Eliana loved watching the Ballet Folklorico and clapping along to the different musical artists. Both the kids were fascinated by the light shows! They stayed up quite late that night, causing Cade to fall into a deep slumber on Uncle MC's arm in, what we like to call, "stinkbug" position! Very cute!
All in all the weather worked in our favor, providing us with plenty of sunshine minus the heat of summer so that we could enjoy lots of outdoor time! We're looking forward to more perfect weather (we'll take it while we can) and the line up of events that this city has to offer.

the patio looks great, what a nice bonus to the house. I am so jealous you guys have such fabulous entertainment within walking distance from your house. It takes us a few hours in the car to get to any big city with shows like that...kind of like our kirksville days:)
