It's time for Rick to get home!

It feels like Rick has been gone FOREVER!!! We kept ourselves very busy for the first 5 days. Now it is time for him to get back to Sendai. It rained today so the kids and I had a jammy day. We did puzzles, watched a movie and Annabelle read us some books. Truthfully we did not get out of our jammies all day. Sometimes you just have to do that. I started packing boxes to send home. I cant believe We leave in 15 days. WOW!! Poor Rick has to stay here for about 8 weeks longer. I hope that time flies too. Ok...sorry no pics for todays blog. Hopefully tomorrow we will do something worth capturing in a picture...ha ha. Have a grrreat day!!!

Voted the # 1 ride of the day (even by Alan)

I cant stop blogging!!!!

had some fun today!!!

We went to a place called Beneyland today. It is an amusement park right here in Sendai!! It was only about a 10 minute cab ride. Which is very nice...we didnt have to take a train. The kids and I rode lots of rides. It was a really fun day! Enjoy the pics!

MORE PICS!!!!

Not sure what is going on in the first picture. It is some sort of weird parade. I thought i should take a picture for some reason. Crazy! The second pic is of the kids with Preston and Tanner Witt at the park playing in the sand. The last picture is of Holly's silly hair after she took a bath. annabelle took this picture....she is a great photographer.

pictures!!!

Here are some more pictures. Some were taken today and some are obviously from Disney. We had a great beautiful sunny day. We were outside all day long. Hopefully we all got a little sun. we definitely need it!!!

More pics from the trip

Some more pictures of our trip to Tokyo. I will probably be adding a couple every day. I think this week is supposed to be nice....so hopefully we can get outside and get some good summertime pics of the the kids. Rick just left this evening for a 9 day road trip. That is a little too long...I think. 3 days is great...9 not so great. By the time he gets home we will have about 2 weeks left. The summer really has gone fast!! I really dont feel like i have been here that long. I guess it is just so nice having us all together!!!

And they finally slept!!!
