Bon Apétite!

DSC_8339 DSC_8340 DSC_8342 DSC_8350We had an amazing time with friends, ate awesome food and made great new friends today. It was so fun to watch my kids interact with older kids. It was especially entertaining to watch Shane. 🙂 He was sitting with college kids and were having long conversations during dinner. I wonder what they were talking about!

Thank you Kwan family so much for having us at your beautiful home and feeding us!
