Mexico's Independence Day was last Friday. LCC celebrates the Independence Day of each country represented on our campus with a flag raising at noon and a presentation about the country in the evening. I decided that even though we don't have any students from Mexico on campus, that I would invite some friends over to my place to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day! (Really it was just a good excuse to have a party and eat Mexican food - I made Chicken enchiladas.)
I decorated my apartment with balloons in the colors of the Mexican flag.
Everyone had to wear the colors of the flag - here we are posing according to how the colors appear on the flag. Kim is holding the pinata that I made for the evening - it has the emblem from the Mexican flag on it.

back row: John, Andrew, Rachel, Robin, and Jerry
Rachel taking a swing at the pinata!
Steve -our pacifist theology deptartment chair- made a couple HUGE dents in the pinata!
It looks like Kim's head is the pinata in this shot!
The spoils spilled on the floor! :)
Silly Robin wore the pinata for a while! :)
This was a really fun evening! Full of good food, good friend, and good conversation!
