Labor Day Celebration

Erik had a great labor day weekend with the family. Uncle Penjo flew in from New York for a lovely long weekend and those two were just the best of buds! Erik warmed up to him quickly. At first I think he was a bit confused at who this fellow was and why does he look similar to Daddy? But after a little time has passed and he got used to this new "stranger", Erik was his usual cheery self.

We visited the California State Fair this year to show Grandpa Tom and Uncle Penjo the lovely fares that you can get. Grandpa Tom was not impressed with the jumbo corn dogs nor was he impressed with the fair BBQ. Uncle Penjo was not impressed with the livestock exhibition and quickly ran out of the building (**We think he's been in New York a little bit too long :-D hahaha **) However, Grandpa Tom and Grandma Katy absolutely loved the Strawberry Funnel Cake!! They were impressed with the live cooking show demonstrations and were able to sample some yummy cuisines by "celebrity chefs". **That just means that they have been watching Food Network a bit too much **

Then we hosted a small BBQ get-together with Grandpa Tik and Grandpa Wai along with Erik's cousin, Alyssa. Friends (that were actually in town and didn't have any other friends) were also invited. Daddy made some kick @ss BBQ ribs that everybody just dived into, including the ole' so picky Grandpa Tik! Erik got to introduce his buddies to his Uncle and Grandpa :-) hee hee

We also went swimming at the local gym and Erik was able to see his favorite lifeguard "Laura" one last time before she heads off to college in Seattle. The life guard just adores Erik. For the past summer, every time we head over to the pool, "Laura" would just smile at Erik and of course, he would just coo and smile back and show off a bit on how he can "swim" so well with Daddy. He even splashed with his arms this time while he kicks under the water!!! So proud of our little sprout!

So all in all, we had a blast on Labor Day celebrating the last holiday of summer before autumn sets in!
