SPT~Cinco de Mayo

My Cinco de Mayo started out with a Midnight bike ride. I was home visiting and my sister, Allison and sister in law, Jessica asked me to ride along with them. We had done this once before several years ago. We had a fun time, chatting, laughing, and getting our Saturday exercise in while most people were sleeping.




Cajun Style
Usually on May 5th we plan to go out to dinner and eat one of our favorites, Mexican food. During med school we always hit the local Papasitos for half price fajitas. We would eat until we were ill, soemthing we do often. This year things were a little different. Greg was here in San Antonio on call, and the girls and I went home for my dad's birthday. My sister has called a few weeks ago and wanted to surprise him with one of his favorite summertime cuisines,(if you can call mud bugs cuisine) a crawfish boil. I'm not a huge fan of crawfish but if seasoned just right I can do just a few of them. If any of you have ever been to a crawfish boil, you know that the spicier the better. I really like the potatoes and corn on the cob that are thrown in the mix. We had a fun time, my dad really enjoyed his surprise, the kids played until they were filthy and worn out. Not your average CInco De Mayo celebration, but it worked.

I didn't get any self portraits of myself but thought this was a good shot of "Mini Me". Everyone comments on how much Maci looks like me when I was little so this is as good as my self portrait will be for this challenge.
