Drinko De Mayo

I think a regular tradition has been adopted. Every year from now on will be an all out, sick-ass, pinata beatin', tequila drinkin', smash to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. We will call it Drinko de Mayo. A special thanks to Ali for the new name of the party! In my book, there is nothing better than getting together with friends and family and tipping the bottle. Mix in some awesome Mexican food and you have Drinko de Mayo! Next year we will plan better and include even more friends!

I keep getting complimented for the pinata and the semi-lame fireworks display! I know for a fact that all of the chinchillas (kiddies) enjoyed the party! They were on the floor grabbing candy and coins like fleas on the back of a Mexican chihuahua.

One of the good things about this party was that we actually took pictures this time. Food was served with the likes of enchiladas, nachos, tacos, guacamole, salsa, and several other dishes that smelled so good that it started to attract the illegal aliens from down the road. As the evening progressed, so did the craziness of the event. The tequila shots and margaritas were flowing like the Rio Grande. Several people wanted to get out the guns and start firing them into the air. Just to make it seem authentic, fireworks were set off.

There are a couple of thoughts that I keep having. I wish that I had a Mariachi band. If the weather would cooperate I would line one up for next year. My ideal party would have been outdoors, with a band, porta johns, a catered bar and the same types of Mexican food. Throw in a real fireworks display and there you have it! A future plan for the 10'th anniversary Drinko de Mayo party.

I had a great time and would like to thank all the participants for coming: Rob, Lisa and kids, Mike, Molly and kids, Leo, Annette and kids, Gina, Jimmy and kid, our golf buddies -Ron and Patty and Phil and Norine, my homeys -Sissy and Senor Rob and Senorita Alyse. I'd like to thank our Mexican neighbors to the south for the food recipes, tequila and an obscure holiday to use as an excuse to get together in May!

Disclaimer - I would just like to add that all of the participants are legal residents of the USA. No illegal immigrants were invited or attended to the best of my knowledge -Even this guy!
