We celebrated RJ and Chris\u2019s birthdays with a family get-together, and RJ had a blast playing laser tag with his friends. The kids headed back to school and are back in the routine of classes, homework, and school events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We took a trip to San Diego, spent time with family, hung out at the beach, biked along the boardwalk, and enjoyed the rides at Belmont Park. It was a great way to wrap up summer!<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69fb3a6a2dea1Spinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\r\n\t\t\t\theight:
