Ryan's Surprise Homecoming!

Surprise, Welcome Home Uncle Ry!

Getting ready for the big surprise!

My Mom and Dad took a trip to the Philappines to visit Ryan's mission. They spent a few days in Japan visiting Keishi(our foster brother) first. They had a wonderful time. They flew back to the U.S. and into LAX with Ryan and we all had planned a wonderful surprise. Dad and Mom told Ryan that Jon (my Brother) was in LA on business so they were going to spend the day with him. Jon picked them up at the airport and brought them back to our hotel in Anahiem. We were all waiting with signs and balloons. It was a sight let me tell ya. A bunch the hotel workers and guests came out to see the show. We have never been that excited. It was very emotional and amazing. The kids could not keep their hands off of Uncle Ryan. They just kept giving him hugs. How exciting!!!

"Ryan, Where do you want to eat for your first American Meal in TWO YEARS?"

"In and Out, of course." Can you imagine what a milkshake would taste like after no milk for 2 years? YUM! You would think Grandpa hadn't had American food in a few years too. Even after going a few weeks without it Dad was really enjoying His hamburger. This was a week-end we will never forget!
