Lydia "International" Birthday

Saturday we drove down to Orange County to spend the holiday weekend with Mike. We arrived around lunchtime and had our usual Vietnamese sandwiches and crunchy spring rolls. After the kids took a nap, we went to Mike's community pool, which was the first time we went swimming since we moved to Cali. The weather was nice and warm, and the water was perfectly cool; I was totally back in my element. Afterwards, we had burgers at my cousin Ben's house and took a mosquito-free stroll around the neighborhood. Life is good. :)

Sunday we went to the International Fair and had some international cuisine. From fish & chips to teriyaki on a stick to hand rolls, there was everything to be had. We listened to some good music as we ate, and even passed by a young teenage band. The day was hot, so we quickly went home after Lydia did one quick ride. For dinner, we went to Wood Ranch and had lots of meat and it was oh so good. Lydia LOVED her Tinkerbell cake and everyone else enjoyed the separate layered chocolate cake. I can't believe my little girl is four years old now; time sure does fly!

A fair worker dropped a prize while walking by with a bagful, so I gave it to Sophie; I'm sure he wouldn't miss it.
