The past two weekends involved things that are most important to me.

The 20th was my grandson's 3rd birthday. We spent the day at DCA and Disneyland with family coming and going throughout the day. Orion was allowed to pick what he wanted to do and we took turns riding with him. Later in the afternoon his cousin Dominic joined us. Dominic is just a month younger and the two boys are best buds. They rode in the front row on the Small World boat and clapped and laughed through the whole thing, no one has enjoyed that ride more. Orion was good all day (no meltdowns) and managed to stay awake long enough to see the fireworks (surprisingly his first time). His jaw literally dropped. It was a great day!

This past weekend I attended a dance camp, California Balboa Classic, in Pasadena. It was the first year for what will be an annual event organized by Laura Keat who's one of the best dancers and instructors in the world. The classes were so well thought out and inspiring. And I got to dance Balboa all evening Saturday night!
