Pride Celebrations & Farewells


 This weekend was a very heavy and emotional one. The Lopezjones' kicked of their Pride weekend with a farewell BBQ honoring Kaana with friends and family.
Kaana's friends came to say goodbye one more time.
  
Pink Saturday at Dolores Park, the twins could not believe how many people there were.
 But once in the playground there was plenty of room to run around.
 UncleBrad made his annual Pride flight up to celebrate. 
 
Kaana's final breakfast with her American family, on the menu were scrambled eggs, bacon and hashbrowns.
 After breakfast the whole family headed downtown for the Pride parade.
 Along with a few neighbors.
The mood was merry and the parade was a lot of fun to see. But in a few hours that would change.
 It was time to drive Kaana to her final AFS orientation where she would take a bus to Los Angele and fly home.  But before she could leave friends stop by to say goodbye for a third and final time.
 The Lopezjones' had to say goodbye too of course and with emotions high and everyone, over the age of five, on the verge of tears goodbyes and hugs were exchanged.
Ada and Navi were so lucky to have a WONDERFUL big sister for the past 11 months. And the daddies were so proud to be able to call such a wonderful girl their daughter.

Kaana you are always loved here and will be missed.  See you in Japan in a few years.
