Obstacle course

This past weekend we went to the obstacle course and had lots of fun. They have a little hiking as well by the obstacle park. The girls love going there and it was Ralph's first time going with us.

Showa park

So last Saturday Mariana and I went to see the cherry blossoms with some friends here. The hubby stayed home since he has been dealing with allergies. We had lots of fun walking around the park and are looking forward to going back and riding on bikes around the park. Here are some of the pictures that we took. Also posted a picture of a toilet that was at the bathroom. Mariana was nervous to use that style of toilet but good thing they had the style toilets she has been used to using.

Fun stuff for the kids

So we have been in Japan 3 and a half months now and Aaliyah is in dance class and both the girls started piano lessons last week. These kids will stay plenty busy while living in Japan.
I forgot to take a picture of Aaliyah on the piano but here is a picture of Mariana.

Asakusa temple

So we have been in Japan for almost 3 months now. We had a three day weekend and hopped on the train and went to Tokyo. It was a nice adventure and the girls were happy to ride on a train again since we haven't since we were in Europe. The temple was beautiful. We look forward to seeing more temples and enjoy our time here in Japan.

Familia Foto's

So last Saturday we had family photo's taken. And it went fairly well with it being cool and windy. We had our pictures taken at the Yorktown Beach front. Which a favorite place to go when it's summer time and I take the girls there to stay cool in the summer time. Besides the kids shivering they were very good.

Pumkinville 2011

So Friday, my girls and I went to Pumkinville after Aaliyah had a half day of school. We had plenty of fun. My friend and her two adorable kids came with us. Here are some pictures of our fun time.

What a week

So we have had an interesting week. First there was a earthquake that I didn't even feel. I was on the road running errands with my girls. But when I went to the store we stopped in they were saying how the racks were shaking. And now we are waiting to hear if we have to evacuate where we live because of the hurricane. Other then that every thing here is good. What a great birthday my oldest will have.
