Fun weekend

This weekend was awesome! We hung out with Jen and the kids on Friday evening. We went to the zoo together in the evening and watched the kids cool down. They went down the water slide and with Emma's scream she even convinced Jen to go with them. She's an awesome mommy to take the brave plunge! hehe They all were soaked but incredibly happy.

Joanna was in town this weekend which made for some great fun! We did a little Baptism prep on Saturday afternoon and then partied hard that night. It was Jenny and Kiko's engagement party. SOO FUN! They definitely know how to throw a party.

Kiko is Cuban so Jenny surprised him with an incredible Cuban band that came and played for a couple hours. We had so much fun dancing! We haven't heard live Cuban music that good before. They were AMAZING! It was loud and our amazing son Jarem slept through almost the entire thing. We finally decided to wake him so he could enjoy the music with us. We danced as a family and had the best time.
Kiko in return surprised Jenny (who is Samoan) with Samoan dancers and a flame eater/twirler. Another awesome addition to the party! We all went into the backyard after the Cuban music was done and watched a private show. Eric and I even got up and joined the dancers with a little lesson in Samoan dancing. I know, shocking! Eric and I were dancing. :)
