Memorial Day Weekend

The highlights of this weekend was spent going cherry picking at Seko Ranch out in Brentwood. We did this last year when the girls were about 18 months (with the Yabuts) and now going back at almost 3 yrs old they still got the hang of it and had a grand ole time. This time we went with the Yabuts, the Ko's, and Adel's friend Lilly and her son. We found a hummingbird's nest and even got to see the mommy bird (who needs the nature channel). Later we had a mini picnic in the back of our minivan which consisted of some teriyaki spam musubi (Der made), mini wheat honey peanut butter and guava jelly sandwiches for the keiki's (mommy made), char siu baus and custard tarts (the Ko's), sandwiches (the Yabut's), and homemade chocolate center cookies (Lilly) and some other snacks as well. The weather was the hottest this year (89 degrees)! The kids had alot of fun and took a short nap in the car as we made our way back to get a pie for the next stop.

We were invited to our friend Nick's house in San Ramon for a BBQ. We also met up with some other friends (the Yangs, the Clarksons, and our host the Chen's), and a bunch of other friends of Nick's. The girls had fun meeting new friends and playing with their old friends as well. Emi came along as well and made a new friend named Toby.
