Aloha! We went to California for the weekend as a reward for Parker and Grace being on the honor roll at school all year long. Ku Mei and Alana were very gracious hostesses and opened up their home to us. Without their hospitality, we would not have been able to go on our little trip. Thank you!
Our families favorite place to vacation is at the beach. There's just nothing like a little surf, sand and sun to warm a Butlers heart. Ku Mei found this great family friendly beach at Santa Monica Pier. This beach was awesome! The Pier had tons of stuff to do with street art vendors, musicians, dancers, roller coasters, ice cream and an aquarium. The kids loved the hands on feel of the beach and pier. We also saw some ocean life up close and personal. What more could we ask for? Oops, did someone say, "Shrimp?" Well, your in luck because we also ate at Bubba Gumps Shrimp House... Yummy! Grace even tried the popcorn shrimp. Very brave of her.
The following day, we went to Sui Mei's sisters wedding. Her name is Julie. The wedding had a Hawaiian theme which was perfect, because we all had our Hawaiian Tropic tans on! (Except for Melissa... She came tanned as a lobster!) The food was great. The Luau entertainment was awesome with hula lessons and a fire dancer. But best of all was being with Wing's Chinese family. They are so loving a caring. We will definitely visit them again soon!
We hope you enjoy our slideshow!

I loved this! I so wanted to be on the beach with you. Maybe Melissa wouldn't have looked so red next to me! I loved the music too! It looks like you had a great time and Kumei was kind to let you stay. Would she let me stay some time? JK! Gracie and Kate sure were beautiful California girls and Parker (and Wing)were hunks on the beach. I love to see pictures like this and then it doesn't make me feel so lonesome. Love to all!
Oh by the way, Melissa you were truly gorgeous also (and you are so talented)!
I'm so glad to see your cute family even if it isn't in person. It looks like you had a great time in sunny California.
