Cinco De Mayo

Last weekend, Layla, Ryan's mom and I headed to our local Cinco De Mayo Festival.  Ryan and his dad worked on our yard (it needs some major love!) and Grady was down for his nap so the girls headed downtown!  Thanks to Cathy for the pictures below!

It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun and Layla was in her glory to head in whichever direction she picked for the day.

 

Layla's pony had an itch and kept shaking his body during her ride.  I thought she might get scared but she did a really good job of hanging on tight.

 Layla is showing some skill in the bags game category!

  Layla took three turns at swatting (tapping!) the pinatas.

My favorite sight from the day was a little dog with a mini sombrero tied to his collar.
I wish I had a picture, he was so cute!

And as we played at the festival, here is a picture of Ryan and Verlyn hard at work in the yard.  They were trying to shape up the top of a tree here.  By the end of the day, they filled that whole trailer up high with trees and clippings.  I don't have quite the enthusiasm for the outside of the house as I do for the inside of the house, but I am really excited to see our yard transform!  I am trying hard to stay interested, but all I know is that I really like hydrangeas and gardens :)
