Showan Kinen Kooen

 These boys love to fall asleep on the bikes. We made a little head strap for the seats so their heads don't flop forward when they pass out.

 There were some flowers in bloom this trip!

 Everyone loves Pa.

 In the kids area of the park, they had the fog turned on. It was really neat! You would lose sight of the person in front of you about about 10 ft.

 I am definitely going to miss this park when we go back to the States.

May the 4th be with you!

Our family just watched all the Star Wars movies at the perfect time! We watched the latest one on May the 4th be with you. Our kids had been really excited about all the Star Wars action, so we surprised them with Star Wars shirts for everyone. They even had a maternity Star Wars shirt! I have to admit that this was my first time watching some of the Star Wars movies as well.

Gyoza Party

We had to ride our bikes quickly so we could make it back in time for our dinner date with our neighbors. They invited us over for a Gyoza party. There was a ton of food!

Our kids were so tired and hungry that they were willing to try new foods! They soon got distracted and just wanted to watch Japanese kids shows on the TV. We sure have some nice neighbors!

Huge Bike Ride!

 We went on another adventure. I absolutely love to ride my bike in Japan. We thought that it would be fun to ride our bikes to our friend's house! His family is about 15 miles away. So we prepped the girls for the biggest ride in their life and got started! We met him at a KFC where Thaddeus immediately passed out. He wasn't even pedaling! Marie and Claire rode their bikes like champs.

 It took us about 3.5 hours each way. I was so impressed with our girls riding their bikes 30 miles! We only got a little sun burnt. Troy even got to tag along in my belly.
