Ana's school had a Cinco de mayo festival today. The third-graders put it on so Ana had a few speaking lines, but then she is also in Spanish club so she danced too. 
A live Mariachi band came in which was a surprise to the students. It was fun. Elena was scared of how loud it was at first. She soon was out dancing though. They played a rousing rendition of La Cucaracha--during which the kids even joined in singing unbidden, and La Bamba, De Colores, and Viva Meixco!! Got to love America--where the biggest celebration at the school is the commemoration of Mexico's army defeating the French. Hmmm.... Okay 75 percent of her school is Hispanic and only 18 percent Caucasian and most of those are Polish immigrants, so it figures.
Enjoy the show!

Curtis went and celebrated last night at his Scouts for that. They had SO much fun! Parents were invited, but I couldn't make it. Dean did though and loved the tacos.
