weekend recap

We had such a busy weekend! I was thinking about it and realized that we squeezed in a lot of activities. On Friday night, Tyler spent the night at grandma's house so I took Josh over to Downtown Disney with Kat to do some damage at Sephora. I LOVE that place! I got bought night moisturizer, a tinted moisturizer with spf 30 (for day) and a pretty Benefit lipstick.
Josh survived the outing with the help of his Gameboy, the tram ride back to the parking lot and the firework display.

On Saturday morning, I had to register Tyler for soccer in the fall. I'm not sure why we still have to show up in person to register since you can do the pre-register forms online. Last year I waited an hour but this time I was actually very lucky to get a good parking space and the wait was only 40 minutes. So after that, we were free to go to Mulligan's, a local family fun center. As we entered the driveway, a person was sitting next to a sign that Mulligan's was closed for a private event until 4 pm! What? So Hector had to think of another mini golf place because he promised the kids. We ended up at Golfland in El Monte about 25 miles from our house and had a great time playing. The kids had a great time playing and Josh always picked up his ball to place it closer to the hole. We would have stayed longer but our friend Dan called to say his son locked the car keys inside the car and they were stuck in Echo Park. Could we go to Longo Lexus in El Monte to get another key? What luck we had we were already in El Monte! The only problem is that dealers don't let just anyone come pick up a key and the newer cars have a chip in them to start the car otherwise. Dan had to call his home dealer to communicate with the Longo dealer to release the key to Hector which took about an hour. The key they give out is only the key with the top part cut off which opens only the door and not the car. At least the Longo dealer has a VERY nice service center...a nice seating area with big screen TV, 2 refrigerators with cold drinks and water, a coffee machine, a computer center and a kid's play area with Xbox and cartoons. Our kids enjoyed their wait while we watched The Preakness.
Then we were off to Echo Park to deliver the key to Dan and his kids. We couldn't visit or stay too long because we had to head home so Hector could go to work. Phew...

Lupe had driven out to visit on Saturday so we spent most of our time trying to work on a slide show for her son's graduation. I didn't really do anything but we spent a lot of time just trying to find pictures and files that I won't get into but it was exhausting. Next time I want to do a slide show, I know I can ask Lupe since she's the "expert". :)

Sunday was our day for rest and relaxation. The kids went to Sunday school and we had dim sum for lunch. I took a nap and then we went to Korean BBQ for dinner. A very nice end to our busy weekend.
