Newport Beach Family Fun

We spent June 21st-26th at Newport Beach. We had so much fun spending time with family

Happy Father’s Day

We had a fun Father's Day this year. Ryan woke up to breakfast burritos and donuts 

Our original plan was to celebrate at Gabe's house, but my dad ended up getting sick, so we made a last minute plan to join our friends at the Santa Anita racetrack. We didn't have any luck, but it was still a fun time. We had a little picnic in the infield 

the Dragna's had a suite and Maddie and Sophia hung out up there for a while 

we went back to the Dragna's after for some pizza and swimming
