Soccer, Father's Day, a New Playground & Surprise Birthday

The month of June 2010 was full of fun and a nice surprise. We were up to a few things, including a trip to Legoland, Derek's last soccer class of the season, a kid birthday party, Father's Day at the beach, sushi and a surprise 30th Birthday celebration.

At the beginning of the month, we brought our really good friends, Aurena & Dan to Legoland. It was the very first time that they've been there and they had a blast. We also checked out Legoland's new waterpark for the first time. Although the day was mostly overcast, we made the most of it by riding several rides and hanging out at the lazy river.





The following weekend, we took Derek to his last soccer class of the season. He picked up the soccer skills so quick that we are in the process of enrolling him in the summer session soccer class. He will be joining his friend and son of Ralph & Sheryl, Andrew. Check out the little soccer crew.





Also in June, we attended a birthday party for Rylan. During the party, it was Derek's first time hanging out in an astrojump. It was great seeing Derek interact with his friends, Ryland, Andrew and LJ.







For Father's Day, it was an S-B day at the beach. We headed over to Coronado Beach for some fun in the sun. Derek enjoyed the sand and the water. We also attempted to build some sand castles.









On the day of my birthday, June 21st, both of us went to work and we met up for lunch at our favorite restaurant, Onami's in Mission Valley. The all-you-can-eat sushi was so awesome! We were so stuffed that we couldn't work the rest of the day.





We picked up this cool playground for Derek. We've been eyeing this set for a long time and we're glad that we picked it up. Derek loves it.





Erica saved the best for last. On the 27th of this month, she threw an awesome surprise birthday party for my big 3-0. Here's how the day went. Erica scheduled me a Father's Day/Birthday massage at Massage Envy. As soon as I went to get my massage, she gathered most of my closest friends and family and snuck them in our house at the same time. I got home to find the big surprise. It was an amazing party and I am eternally grateful that she was able to organize it without any hints or slight clues and the fact that she was able to get my friends under the same roof.
