Aquarium Asamushi

We had a great time at Mizumushi. The drive was a bit long, but I thought worth it!! We could see all kinds of undersea creatures! They had a petting area too!

School Concert

Every year the kids have a concert/play for each grade. You can see Noah is the 3rd child, and the kaki tree is part of Jasmines play, and here she is sitting in her class in white.

Beaujolais nouveau 2007

This is it. The new wine of the year! As always Katsuya bought some to celebrate his life with ...me! I hope!!! I do life with ...me! I hope!!! I do not know about Americans, but I know that Japanese go a bit weird about it being a big deal.

MISAWA AVIATION & SCIENCE MUSEUM, AOMORI

I went to the MISAWA AVIATION & SCIENCE MUSEUM! It had so many things to do. I did a running thing that shows how fast you are running. I was running 21.8 miles a hour! And their was this other thing that shows how fast you are swinging a baseball bat. i swung it 100 miles an hour!!!! Their were so many other things to do, it would take so long to explain it all. my brother cross had a fun time as well. we went in a real plane! Cross got to run around a lot. He had fun touching every thing he saw. They had a thing that showed how a real tornado is made! I got to touch it. i also got to eat two ice creams! they were good!!!! we also went in a spinning room, and we tried to throw a ball to each other. the room was spinning so the ball went in strange directions. When the ball fell on the ground it was hard to pick it up. I kept falling on the ground! i got a lilttle dizzy. It was really fun i want to go again some other time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!　

Towada, Oirase Gorge

This time of year is really nice at Towada Lake. There are so many streams and falls. On this particular day, there were so many tourists. Look at the very old Japanese house. One day we want to celebrate something special here. It just sits alone in front of the lake!

Piggy ride

Today Dad road on a big pig, at the farm. The pig didn't move that much after he got on. I tried to take a picture of it with dads camera phone. It didn't come out that good. Then dad put on the light on the phone. Then it came out a little better than last time. Then the pig went running off, he ran off a little faster than I thought It would run! It was cold out side so I had to move around a little to keep my blood temperature up. We got a good picture a few days later because dad brought a real camera with us. It came out really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tokyo

On Tues. we took baby to Tokyo with us. As we were going down the streets in Ginza, we had to walk through the crowd of people who were representingGiorgio Armani. They opened another store called Armani Towers. It includes a spa too. Lots of bodyguards, models, and great cars!!! Kate Blanchett made her appearance as well. The next photo shows a bit of the holiday decor . Baby is here from the hotel. We were at Hotel Marunuchi.
