Belated 14th Birthday

Mari's belated 14th bday with her friends. A few since kinder.  Lucky girl with so many good buddies. 

Mari's fav "restaurant", Chipotle 

Followed by cake decorating, mourning over Tik Tok ban and lots of laughters.  So grateful for her tribe.  Mark and I were asked to stay upstairs ... until it was time for the clean-up "party." 

Yoga class then dinner to celebrate Risa's bday. 

Ramit Sethi's book launch tour. Love that he doesn't just talk about numbers but focuses on the psychology of money. I've learned so much about personal finance from Ramit. This date night sparked some good conversation between Mark and I. 

FFF - Thai dinner - crab fried rice was her fav. 

Mango sticky rice will get us that smile. 

Ippudo Ramen with Mari's foodie buddy.

ATV ... wild ride, esp when Ethan or Mark is driving. 

Ziplining ... my first time! Was initially scary but so fun.
