Mini-Vacation!

This past weekend we went on a mini-vacation to Northern California for Sean's sister Sharee's graduation. She graduated from Chapman University with a degree in Liberal Studies. We are so proud of her for going back to finish school while being a full time mom to 4 kids. What an accomplishment! Congratulations, Sharee!

Later that night, we went to a nice seafood dinner on the river. We rode in Eric and Sharee's boat to get there and it was so fun! Here we are on the ride over...

The next day was Sean's mom's 60th birthday and we celebrated with chinese food, cake, ice cream, and of course the Laker game. It was a great night...the Lakers became CHAMPIONS!!! They took the Orlando Magic in 5 and we were so excited for their victory! After the game, we presented Sean's mom with a scrapbook full of pictures and letters from all her kids and grandkids. The grandkids performed a skit and we performed our song that we stayed up til 4am writing! Happy 60th Birthday, Liane!

Evan was surprisingly really good in the car during the 7 hour plus drive. We actually got smart on the drive home and stopped at Walmart to buy him a DVD with a collection of his favorite TV shows. He loved it and now we know how to travel right! Here he is enjoying one of his favorites...Blue's Clues!

We had a great time and can't wait for July when Sean has the whole month off! Hooray for vacations!
