California Day 5

The last day of the conference was on Sunday, and it was nice to be done, but also sad to see all these people leave. We have some friends that we will keep in touch forever with, and we hope to make this an annual trip for us, wherever it takes us.


This is the founder of "Foundation for Children with Microcephaly"


Some of the kids singing head shoulders knees and toes

We went to dinner with two other couples at the Newport Pier out on the ocean! This random guy was dressed up like Jack Sparrow, and we had to get a picture with him!



Beautiful sunset



Here is our group that we went to dinner with. Good times!

Wow, I loved reading that! It sounds like such a blessing that you guys were there. How great to get some answers. I love Damon's smile on the elevator!

Wow!!! What a rollercoaster of a trip. It sounds like you were definitely led there to not only get information but exact answers with Damon. I'm so glad you did. It looks like in the mean time you had a lot of fun. It shows on the big smiles on the boy's faces. How fun!

We're so glad you and Juan were able to attend the conference. It was worth the whole trip just for the visit with the doctor and the diagnosis and information you received. Damon is such a special boy, and because he was sent to your family, you know Heavenly Father has great trust in you. We love your family. You are amazing! Welcome home.
Love, Mom & Dad

Looks like a fun trip! I'm glad they were able to help give some answers for little Damon. He is so cute! Looks like fun was had by all! :) Hope you are recovering and getting back to "The real world".
