Mothers Day

Back on May 11, we celebrated mothers day with the rest of America. It took some work because so many people were in town for the big wedding the next day. Joni, Rylan, and I went down the street to Waiole Tea House for breakfast and had a nice meal there without having to cook anything.

After that we walked home and visited the neighbors, including Rylan’s surrogate grandma, grandma Venegas and auntie Christa. Rylan brought them plumeria flowers. In the end Rylan made grandma Venegas help him down the stairs because he is practicing going up and down stairs without having to sit down on each step. He is getting good at that. In fact he is becoming a good climber in general - he can go up all the ladders at the park without assistance. Most of those are the half-rainbow shape with small round rungs that kids can climb to reach platforms and slides. It is unnerving to watch sometime because toward the end when the ladders become more horizontal he has both hands and one foot on the same rung for a moment.

Anyway, that is about all we did for mother's day. After the morning activities our attention turned back to the wedding - Joni participated in the rehearsal and I managed the bbq following the rehearsal. Here is a shot of grandma Venegas with Rylan:
