Cinco de Mayo

Hola! As I sit in 'the warehouse' writing this entry I am looking at the evidence left from what I like to call the 'hispanic hurricane' known as Cinco de Mayo.  Banners hang from the walls, a random sombraro is tossed aside on the floor most likely from a mexican hat dance, the spilled bottle of habanero hot sauce is hidden by the remnants of the pinata mutilation that occured last night.  By far, the greatest Cinco de Mayo EVER.  We were able to prove that even though we took the 'happy' out of the 'happy margaritas' people could still get a little crazy.
Special awards go to the following people:  Danny Miller - for doing the impossible.  Drinking an entire bottle of hot sauce in under 20 seconds (crossing my fingers and hoping I don't get any parent phone calls) Justin Gillette - for hitting the pinata so hard that he broke a 2" thick wooden pinata stick (watch out Albert Pujols).  Senor PIN - for dodging that same pinata stick dagger like something straight from a Matrix movie Lilly Huelfer -  for pinning the cupcake right in the donkey's face, nice shot! Joe"two step"Hannah - for the best interpretation of the mexican hat dance.  Conner Morgan - for the furthest left handed marshmallow home run and Hannah Gross - for somehow knowing what a 'quincinera' is. 
I spoke to a friend of mine that brought his little sister to the party and I think she summed it up the best.  When having to leave a little early, she belted "I don't want to leave, I don't EVER want to leave!!"  Me neither sweetheart, me neither.  I guess we can all thank those brave Mexican forces that defeated the French in 1862 for the fun we had last night.  We lift up our non-alcoholic margarita's to you.  Muchos Gracias!!!
