As a belated birthday dinner for Mama (as a family of 4), we had Korean BBQ at the new place at Southshore Center.Yum yum.


We flew home on JetBlue today. Long Beach Airport is the best. The kids especially love boarding from the ground.


The kids were up early and ready for waffles. They enjoyed having breakfast together before we headed back up to Alameda.

The kids had dinner and a sleepover with Alice and Leela at Yai and Ta’s house. Uncle Johnny brought over spaghetti and meatballs from Olive Garden and it was a hit.

Today, we went to the California Science Center with all the cousins. There’s a cool aquarium area as well as a pretend play area but the thing that Peanut was looking forward to most was seeing the Space Shuttle up close!







He was pretty happy to see it but kept asking when it was going to blast off. He and Thomas were glued to the screen that showed the lift off on repeat.

Here’s Peanut giving a beaver a check-up in the pretend play area.

We love it when all 6 cousins get to play together!

We went to Liberty Park this morning. The kids played while the grown-ups ran around the track.




This evening, we went to Lawry’s for dinner to celebrate Mama and Uncle Johnny’s birthday. Everyone cleans up so nicely.



Look at the cute cups they give to the kids!

Everyone enjoyed some prime rib and all the sides.


It was so nice to have the whole family together at one of our favorite restaurants of all time.


We also went out for dessert at milk bar.

We couldn’t resist not following this request. 🙂


Mama got a new phone that has an ultra-wide lens and Peanut helped test it out.


Janie went to pick up Alice from school today.

Meanwhile, Peanut stayed with Yai to get a manipure and pedicure. Haha.
