Newport Beach Family Summer Vacation

Family Vacay with Dada's family to Newport Beach. 

Our very 1st meal of the trip.  Korean BBQ with lots of side dishes, meat was so tender. 

Santa Monica Pier ... we sure love our Dad! 

Din Tai Fung - soup dumpling, so tasty! 

Dolphin Safari - we saw about 1000 dolphins in their natural habitat, such a breath taking site.  

4 our of 5 of us got sea sick but felt much better after we got off the ship. 

@ Downtown Disney for some Star Wars fun. 

Anaheim Packing House - 2 floors of yumminess! 

Medieval Times - such a fun experience.  

Uncle Mike vs. Tyler chess match

Surfers in training

Pokinometry ... liked it so much we came back for more.  

Sushi boat dinner - so fun!

We made it back home just in time to celebrate Auntie Jenn Garcia's bday - crazy kids' table.  

Father's Day 2015

3 dates in 1 day, our father's day tradition!!!  Since my favorite meal is breakfast, Dada took me out for yummy pancakes.  He's always trying to understand what's going on inside our head/heart, I opened up a bit ;-) 

I love sandwich and chips.  Outdoor lunch on a nice day talking about how things are going with our family.  

Just me and daddy riding my motorcycle around the neighborhood.  I love 1:1 time and affection ... when asked what would make me even happier ... I asked for even more hugs and kisses from my parents.  

Spoiled with Boba and Jamba Juice for our drink picnic date. 

Father-daughter dance with our church buddies / neighbors. 

Another session of ballet / tap class just started. 

Mama's team building event ... wish she could have brought us, looks like an adventure.  She had a blast.  

To all our surprise, Mama let us get all this junk food.  We wanted to take a pic to remember this rare occasion :) 

VBS - my 1st year as a youth leader.  Too old to be a participant now. 

My 2nd year in the preschool group and I love every minute of it.  Can't stop singing / dancing to all the songs! 

20 year high school reunion

We went down to So Cal for the weekend to attend Dada's 20 year HS reunion.  We had a great time meeting his classmates, teachers and basketball coach. 

Awesome reunion with a jumpy house, face paint, food truck and great company. 

Dada brought us to the park he proposed 14 years ago.  

Ice cream treat on a hot night. 

So fun with the Guerreros ... great company and amazing meals, thank you Auntie Jan / Uncle Steve! 

We came home to Honey's very 1st egg!
