Aztec Fiesta Days - June

So, for those of you who don't know... Bryce and I purchased a small shaved ice stand to take to events during the summer for a little extra cash. And this year Jimmy and Heather have come to some of the events with us and have sold cotton candy.... So, here is our stand at the Aztec Fiesta Days.
First, let me just tell you a few things about this little shindig... every year they make this huge person... thing.... out of paper and sheets and then all the people of the town write down on little sheets of paper one thing they would like to get rid of in their lives and then they burn it. So, on the last night of this "fiesta" they start moving this massive person-thing and people are lighting candles and following it (people are real serious about this-no lie) and Jimmy starts running after it with these fake tiki torches we have that set outside of our Shaved Ice Stand. So, I left (Bryce and Heather to clean up... sorry again!) and went after him with my camera so I could get pics. of Jimmy making a fool out of himself.
Much to my surprise... he was like the most popular guy out there. All the people thought he was so cool cause he was getting all in to the "spirit of the Zorba" and were shouting at him and talking to him as he passed. And Jimmy and I were just cracking up because all he was doing was mocking the tradition. He even went up as they were lighting it and acted like he was lighting it with his "torch"! It was honestly soooooo funny!!! But I swear that's how it's been with him, he makes fun of somebody and they totally think he's great! GO figure!!
