Cricket's Thoughts

Cricket’s Gone Pink?

Woah! Cricket’s gone pink? What’s up with that? Yeah, I don’t see me as a pink kind of girl either, so it takes something very important for me to decide to make my blog so pink. Any ideas? Yup, you guessed it. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_Cancer_Awareness_Month

I would like to challenge all of my readers to “go pink” on their own blogs for the month of October. If you don’t like messing with CSS, you can download the Breast Cancer Awareness Theme free of charge.

Tower of Americas Bad Hair

If we were going to act like tourists in Haley’s hometown, we figured we might as well add HemisFair Park to our list of places to visit.

Hemisfair Park San Antonio Texas
The little waterfalls throughout the park always catch my attention.

Trying to fit the 750 feet tall Tower of Americas into this shot, was challenging to say the least. Next time I will remember to bring a different lens with me.

Viewing San Antonio from Observation Deck
The view of San Antonio from the observation deck is stunning.

Definitely a bad hair day!
The wind was definitely giving Haley some trouble with her hair.

Can she see anything?
At this point, I think she would have paid $100 bucks for a hair tie.

Tie it in a knot?
Tying it into a knot was starting to look like a good idea.

Trap the hair!
Trapping the hair worked for at least a little bit. (You knew dang well I was gonna convert this shot to black and white!)

But through it all, she never lost that killer smile!

Goodnight
After a very long day, it was finally time to call it a night . . .

My Goofy Kid is Finally Back

My Goofy Kid
After a long vacation visiting her daddy, my goofy kid is finally back. And, we are both back home in San Antonio, Texas. Yeeeehaw!

Michael and Haley
After a quick visit with her oldest brother Michael . . .

Downtown San Antonio Texas
She wanted to head straight to downtown San Antonio.

Rivercenter Mall San Antonio Texas
Well, to be more specific, to the Rivercenter Mall . . .

Shopping at the Rivercenter Mall
For some serious shopping . . .

Steeple in Downtown San Antonio
And sightseeing . . .

And of course, what visit downtown would be complete, without visiting the Tower of Americas in HemisFair Park?

Yup, this proved to be a very long day for both of us, but it was so nice to be home, we wanted to see everything.
