Labor Day weekend/Luau Party




we just came home a little while ago from spending a nice weekend at our friend's in san marino valley. it's the labor day weekend so james & of course pretty much all those who work didn't have any work today. we started our nice weekend last saturday by going to a luau party at ralphy's in-laws. james, julian & i tried to look our hawaiian best... it reminded me of my twin's bday celebration for her daughter andy and how i still very much wish that james, julian & i were able to attend that one too. anyway, after around 2 hours or traveling from the amtrak station in union station all the way to san marino, we just made a quick stop to ralphy's house so that the 3 of us can change into our party clothes before heading off to the party itself. the party was really nice... we even had leis placed on our necks, a tiki bar was in place, lots of other pretty hawaiian decorations were in place too. there was even this little picture board of a surfer & his lady where you can place your head/s and have a cute photo souvenir taken.




the food was really great & i really enjoyed the pinacolada -- woohoo. there was even hat making for the little kids wherein they were given hat/s made out of paperbags & they were given lots of foam stickers & markers to decorate it... julian loved it :) julian was having such a good time hanging out mostly with his dad and the other guys there & showing them how he does the 'maroma' or tumbling. he even chooses to do it mostly on the concrete florr instead of the grass. the party was a whole lot of fun -- i had to try like 5 or more times to make julian go to sleep before succeeding to do so. we were one of the last ones to leave -- going back to ralphy's place before finally dozing off in our assigned sleeping places around 3am or so...




sunday & monday were mainly all about playing with the kids (julian, crystal, isabella & isaiah), watching cartoons with them & catching up with ralphy & his brother oscar who came to visit that weekend too. it was a nice relaxing weekend & we can't wait to go back there again soon :)

ps
thank you to oscar & his little girl crystal for giving us a ride back home... & to ralphy, gina & their family, thank you for inviting us to a great luau party & for your hospitality.
