Fiesta on First Day of Summer. Ole!

Patty Barrier and Cathi Hatch  

Last night Patty Barrier and I headed across the bridge to Old Mexico (aka Broadmoor) for a fiesta at the new Hacienda of Eliza & Chris Coburn.  When we arrived to the sounds of mariachi music, Lauren Coburn greeted us at the door with a broken arm (recently set) and announced in a dramatic matter-of-fact-life-is-so-unjust kind of way that Emmico had pushed her off the couch.

Greg Jones, Theresa Dowell and daughter, Jeannine, were all there in their sombreros.  Greg turned out to be the most popular guest at the party because he was equipped with an ammunition belt filled with shot glasses, lime squeezes and a holster armed with a bottle of gold tequila.

Eliza, who is the most amazing party planner, had thought of every detail to make it a special evening.  Multiples choices of margaritas, Mexican beer, Dante's Inferno Dogs hot dog stand, an ice cream truck and dozens of delicious passed appetizers,

desserts, a magician, a balloon artist, a face painter, and a trampoline kept everyone entertained and happy.

Emmico's dad, Tom Skerrit was there, Michael Hatch with three sons, Jackson, Spencer and Andrew in tow, Leslie Chihuly and her son, also Jackson, Dani Ackerley with her children, Julia de Haan with her grown son, Heather & Michael Sandoval with their twin boys, Eliza's mom, Pat Flug with face festively painted, Cyndee Halper, Margie Allison, Joe Miner with daughter Audrey, and dozens of others were all having a wonderful time.  Ole!!
