Confucius Wishing Lanterns

Last weekend we headed to the Riverwalk to participate in the anual Wishing lantern ceremony with thousands of other San Antonians. It was a gorgeous night with great weather, multiculturalism, and beauty. Our kids got along and were up for the adventure and that was honestly the best part. We wrote our personal wishes "own every Lego Batman set" and "everyday can be my birthday". But we also focused on family goals "no fighting", "have a great family summer adventure", etc. I can't wait to see our wishes come true.

Originally, of course, no one wanted to go...much like the next next when we took them to see Step, Afrika! That night they ended up on stage learning a step routine and then pounding the floor in a roaring drum circle. So we had two exceptional diverse experiences in this fantastic town we call home! AND I got to prove that if you trust Mommy, mostly I provide you with some pretty spectacular experiences!

A Great Fri-yay with my Baby

After drop-off yesterday, Ziyan and III we're free to do whatever we wanted. Nearly for a month we've had major events on Friday (drive to Houston, work, chaperone a field trip) so when we finished up our morning tea we realized we were free as birds. Inspired by a genius neighbor, we headed to South Town for our Friday fun run.
The scenery was amazing, we saw a train!, the hazelnut Chocolate croissant was to die, but Ziyan was completely uninterested in staying in his stroller. There's one photo of him attempting to escape included as proof. So we did our four miles (of me running) but he probably did an extra mile of his own. We stopped a lot but we had a great adventure. He's one fantastic kiddo.
