Question: What do these three things have in common?
1. Guacamole: Made with avocado, cream cheese, diced tomato and lime juice. Some like it...some not sure!
2. Rain stick: Crumple aluminum foil into a large spiral. Pack it with rice inside a paper towel. Cover the roll with "sick tape" and packing tape. Sounds like soothing rain when turned end-to-end to music.
3. Maraca: Two plastic spoons (or craft sticks) and one plastic Easter egg containing dried beans that rattle, all wrapped in "Not your Mama's" fancy duct tape.
That's right! They are all ways to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, a special Mexican holiday!
What's Cinco de Mayo? Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) celebrates a great and unexpected victory by the Mexican Army over the French Army in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Today, people celebrate Cinco de Mayo in a big way. They have festivals and fiestas. They dance special dances and eat special foods. They make piñatas and wear colorful clothes...
Like we do!
...and they play special music on special instruments.
Like we do!
And some us just went bowling.
The bowling was at Sparians Bowling Lounge, on St. Albans Drive (near North Hills Mall) on April 24. A BIG THANKS to Lisa Wald for these photos.
