Oh what a weekend!

The Sone Afualo Family!

It seems like I haven't been posting often enough. More time elapses between each post. Let's not even bring up journal entries. That is even sadder. We have been so busy, but what else is new. I really need to stop saying that. Here is what has been going on in our family.


Nana was with us all this week and we all enjoyed it. She took the boys out on a "date" on Thursday. They went out to lunch and went to the movies. They saw the second "Night at the Museum." They both said it was great!


Friday morning Damon and I were able to go on a bike ride. It was great. We rode from our house to Lake Miramar and back. It is about 12 miles. It felt wonderful to be out and about on the bike with Damon struggling on his heavy mountain bike behind me. Hopefully he will have a road bike soon so he can keep up with me.

The kids woke up to a surprise Friday morning. Papa was here. Actually that was a bit of a surprise for all of us. For the adults it came late Thursday night. He can down to for the family reunion early, but decided to drive a little bit further South to see us a day early. The kids were so happy.










Friday afternoon we drove up to Riverside to start the Afualo Family Reunion. The theme was "Following in the footsteps of our fathers". It was a nice reunion and the kids had a blast. Damon's whole family was together for the first time since we've been married. Friday there was a dinner and entertainment. Saturday there were workshops, games, kid's crafts, flag making and "Afualo Idol". Lily got up on stage and sang "Popular". She did a great job. The boys did a magic light show with glow in the dark rings which was pretty funny. The reunion ended Sunday morning with a morningside and a Father's Day tribute. It was lovely.









Sunday afternoon we headed back to Mortensen Manor for Father's Day dinner. It was quite yummy. Adam got up really early and made chocolate pie with Uncle Brent. Damon had a Luau Show in Corona Saturday night and asked if for Father's day he could take a nap. How could I say no to that. We enjoyed a fabulous meal and desserts. We love all the Father's in our lives. They are wonderful examples to follow. My kids are so lucky.
