“Viva Mexico….”

September 16th

….is all they are shouting outside. It is Mexico’s Independence Day. Had some of the homes friends over last night for a little get together and fun and games and celebrating the birthday of one of our friends.

We opted to stay in tonight because of the festive spirit the city is caught up in. Downtown there are many traditional shows and much celebrating going on, but really, who wants to fight throngs of people and bad traffic late into the night, when you can throw your own little party from the safety of your home and watch the fireworks display fright from your own rooftop.

Yes, they were great! I put the kids to bed early so that I could wake them up when the fireworks started. Jade despite the early bedtime tossed and turned in her bed and only fell asleep ten minutes before it started so I did not wake her. However, Adrian and I climbed onto the roof and watched the show.
