This weekend was chockful of celebrations.  On Saturday, we attended Susie’s graduation, which took place on the USS Hornet.  It’s a retired aircraft carrier that has been turned into a museum and it was HUGE!  The ceremony lasted a whoppin’ 3 hours with lots of boring (and bad) speeches followed by a long procession of graduates whose names were called one by one.  The stage was so far from us that we had to watch everything from the giant screens overhead.

Afterward, we explored the ship and got to go up to the flight deck.  That was pretty neato.

In the evening, we had dinner at Tsunami and then walked down to Carmen’s (a filipino restaurant) located across from where we live to watch the pay-per-view fight.  It only lasted 2 rounds and I got back from walking Koa just in time to see the knock out.  Lucky me!  Pacquiao was crazy fast!  So in celebration of the win, the rest of the evening was spent drinking beer, singing karaoke, and entertaining Koa who was tied up outside the restaurant.

All the workers at the restaurant loved coming out to greet Koa and some were determined to make friends with him.  He finally gave in and reluctantly let one of them pet him.

On Sunday, we went to the Agustins’ for Jimmy’s Bday BBQ.  There was a lot of Cinco de Mayo-themed food and beverages and it was an eating and drinking marathon for everyone.  The party was also filled with physical challenges from push-ups to pull-ups to taking shots.  It was truly a typical Jimmy Bday.

I also got to meet Agnes and Tim’s little 3-month-old girl who had the cutest hair-do.  It reminded me of Patti’s Katelyn’s hair back when she was a baby.  I reassured Agnes that her hair was come down eventually.
