Corpus Christi Holiday

Alina's best friend came over during the holiday and we took them to the movies to watch "Madagascar 3" (so fun!). The girls played for the rest of the day while I studied for an upcoming test. Many places close on Friday to extend the holiday, but alas, where I work did not. Boo-hoo. 

We had a great time on Saturday though. First we went to Laurie's classmate's birthday party and then we went to a sort of country fair. It was called ExpoCachaça, but aside from the booths selling and giving samples of 101 different kinds of cachaça, there was a beer section, a dairy section, a typical foods section, a horses and cows section, AND a little petting zoo, aside from all the other things which I forget now. 

We didn't stay long because it was the end of the day and the girls were already wiped from jumping and running around during the party. They looooved the little zoo though, and Laurie loved the HUGE tractors that were on display. Both of them went for a ride on a pony and got to play on the tractors. Needless to say, we all arrived home exhausted! 

And here are some pictures from that fun day.
