Monthly Sibling dinner has resumed in person!  So happy to catch up and enjoy yummy food together.

Mari is finally an In n Out fan.  Plain cheese burger with lots of fries while I enjoy my protein cheese burger.

So Cal Vacay - Disneyland & College Visits

Been almost 5 years since we've visited the "Happiest Place on Earth."  So happy to be back, our first family vacay in 1.5 years.  It was Mari's 3rd visit but she doesn't remember, so it was magical experiencing her "first" visit again. 

So fun exploring Disneyland and California Adventure with our good friends from back home.  They were such awesome travel buddies. 

Star Wars land, so amazing (even for the non Star Wars fan)!  

Chilling before our turn for the long awaited "Rise of the Resistance" ride. 

Right before some of us got wet from the Grizzly ride. 

Went on this ride 3x because kids wanted to get wet, instead the adults kept getting drenched. 

Mik Shake cheers to a fun day at California Adventure.  Behind them is Radiator Springs from Cars. 

We were one of the last ones to leave the park.  They closed at 9p and we didn't get out til 10ish.  Can't get enough of the Disney magic. 

College tour ... visiting Tommy Trojan at USC.  

UCLA Bruins - such a big campus. 

UCI Anteaters 

Chinese dinner with Auntie Pauline. 

Taco fiesta with the Guerreros. 

Pool time at the hotel.   

Soup dumpling date @ Anaheim Packing District ... kids needed to rest so we dropped them off at hotel and kept on eating. 

Pork spring rolls @ Brodards, so yummy we had it 3 times. 

Jumbo size boba treat. 

Ethan is employed

Ethan started his very first jobby job at Poke House.   He put in a number of job inquiries at our local plaza before he even turned 14, finally got called back by 1.  Tough to find a gig at 14 years old but glad he persevered.   

Stop by Rivermark plaza to visit him if you're craving a bowl of fresh fish with all the fixing!  He might even hook you up with some extra ... rice ;) 

Ethan's shot #2 ... 4 out of the 5 of us are now vaccinated.  

Celebrated O's big 4 with a homemade tiramisu during their weekly Wed visit. 

2nd annual Japan reunion with the Mewies.  We all miss our Japan trip so much.  Kids all want to go back that summer ... wishful thinking.  This Japanese meal & video brought back so many fond memories. 

Mark drinking his sorrows away ... better luck next year Lakers.
