Cinco de Mayo 2011

Highlight of the week was joining Chris' family for Cinco de Mayo celebration at local Cecilia Mexican restaurant in Lafayette. The had a Marachi band to add to festivities and Kate was dancing to the beat as you can see in the background. There is a rumor that new Mexican restaurant going into Orinda Theatre Square soon. We heard fireside by Richard Bushman, Mormon historian, on Friday evening. He is helping establish a Mormon studies chair at UC Berkeley campus. Jana Rains has started a ladies discussion group once a month. I attended for first time this week. Always nice to visit informally as little time on Sundays. Our first simulated earthquake drill on Saturday morning for the Oakland Stake where we initiated our ward phone tree.  Hopefully can invite group over soon to discuss more preparedness. Some inactive families have even agreed to join us. Your dad gave me the most gorgeous bouquet of pink roses for Mother's Day. These were added to the two roses Kellyn gave me in Utah last week as early honor of motherhood. Wishing you all a lovely day. Kellyn departed early this morning for Asia with BYU business school. She plans to update her blog when possible. I've been thinking it's time for another family adventure, but needs to be family friendly that can accommodate Natalie and Melissa new one due September. Let me know what you think of February 2012 choices of Oahu, Hawaii; Disneyland, Disney World; or western Caribbean cruise departing New Orleans? An adult only to more far away places like China or Peru will have to wait for a while.

I would probably vote for Oahu. Not sure what others are thinking but I think that would be fun even with a baby.

Of those I would vote for Oahu or Caribbean cruise - I think Disney is probably an every 2-3 year goal for us, not every year. I think an Alaskan cruise would also be a lot of fun and could be a good family adventure, but it would have to be summertime, not February.

I think the kids would love Oahu.

Well I guess I missed this whole blog post while I was in Asia, but I would say Oahu or Caribbean Cruise. I think both sound like a blast :) It'll be nice to get out of the Utah cold for awhile.
