This is Wherever Wednesday

Welcome to This is Wherever Wednesday!  At Wherever Wednesday we share those little moments that really show the character of the places we live.   It started on Budget Blond and, after an intermission, restarted here on Texifornia.

Thanks everyone who posted last month!  Had LOTS of Texans represented...and with the post coming just before Spring Break, lots of vacation ideas.  Seriously, if you're planning on vacationing in San Antonio, Dallas or Austin you need to visit last month's Wherever Wednesday!   (I was really excited about the San Antonio Tips since we're planning a vacation there.)  But it wasn't just Texans posting.  Here are a few of the highlights.

• Taylor Brione shared about her excursion to Dallas, and all the fun things she experienced there.
• Chara of Viva La Vida shared about a stopover in Singapore.  BEAUTIFUL pictures and so interesting!  
• Family Love in My City shared a post about Family Day at Art Space in San Antonio.  Looks fun!

LINK UP YOUR POSTS!

Leave your posts on the linky below and share the "this is Africa, Arizona, San Francisco, Canada, Puerto Rico, wherever" moments in your life!   If you're still a little uncertain what that means, this post over at Budget Blond will help you out.  And, though it's not required, I'd love if you would grab the This is Wherever button on the sidebar and share it in your post or somewhere else on your blog!  Thanks for participating!

This is Texas

My son spit in school...and could have won a prize for it.

  This is Texas

Yep, there was a spitting contest at the elementary school...and the teachers didn't even stop it.  In fact, they gave away prizes!

Yep, spitting beans into a can was just a one of the activities my kiddos got to do for Texas Round-up Day, an event at my kids school celebrating Texas Independence last month.  My oldest won second prize in the "pin the tail on the buffalo contest."  They also got to meet a real cowboy (and his horse).  And they got to dress up like cowboys...or would have if I had remembered (doh...bad mom, bad, bad mom!).

On the flyer it said they could wear jeans, western shirts, cowboy hats, boots,  bandanas, etc.  My kiddo drew arrows pointing at the hats/bandana and said "not required" but had another arrow towards that boots saying "I'd really like this."  (Sorry kiddo, but cowboy boots are expensive).

(Yeah, yeah...so this happened nearly a month ago and I'm just getting it posted now.

It's been a busy month!  But a good one!)
