Current mood: confused
Ok when we messed up the date on Koa's birthday last week, and ended up going to Orange County back to back days, I decided that when I got home I was going to get all my future appointments, birthday dates, and parties all written down on the calendar and post it on the fridge. (And I did) Wouldn't you know... it happened AGAIN!!!! The second weekend in a row we messed up the party date and went to it a day early! This time it was in San Diego (ya a farther drive than Orange County).
This morning, we all got ready early and prided ourselves on what a good job we did for leaving the house at a decent time. For once we would arrive to the party on time. We battled the drive down there we got to the park where Mia's cousin Natalia was to have her 6th birthday party and .... no party!! Hmm...... Luckily Adrian's Mom's house was literally a few blocks away so we decided to stop by there.
His Mom and Fernando had some guests over and they were hanging out in the garage. We pulled up and they greeted us. We asked them what happened with the party and she said "Its tomorrow!" Oh no!!! Not again!!! Adrian and I just stood there in disbelief how could we have messed up the dates AGAIN!!! Sigh... oh well. So we made the best of our little trip. We visited with Mia's Grandma and Grandpa a bit then headed down to La Bella's our favorite Italian restaurant in Chula Vista.
To our surprise it wasn't very packed, especially for a holiday weekend. So we got a table right away. All of us were starving!!! Mia was having fun playing with the menu until a older lady who was sitting next to us started to chat with us. Mia quickly became shy and refused to look up from the ground. She kept her head down the whole time until our food arrived. We all grubbed out on the good food and when we were stuffed we left.
We decided to go to Adrian's Tia Gloria's house since they have a big play set in their back yard. We called them up and they welcomed us right over. Once we arrived we were surprised to find Adrian's sister there along with his two nieces. So that was an extra bonus. While we visited a bit, Mia got to visit and play with her cousins Natalia and Brianna in the backyard. Of course that is after Mia warmed up to everyone first. She acted shy again... especially around her Tio Pepe. A couple of hours later another Tia showed up (Tia Martha) and she brought Mia's other cousin Emily. So Mia got another playmate to play with in the backyard. She was having a blast, playing with all the toys, chasing the girls, and screaming.
It soon started to get late and we were all were a bit tired. So we said our goodbyes (well until tomorrow that is) and headed back home.
Phew I am tired.... I cannot believe we did it again... sigh... I think I need to triple check our invitations next time for sure!!!! Well see you tomorrow since I know I will have more stories to share since we will be back in San Diego..... AGAIN! haha
