Spring Break

Spring Break has been busy and full of fun. 
 Here are some pictures of what we have been up to!!

The first day of the cherry blossoms. 
 We took the kids to Tosu for a day trip. 
 It rained all day and we had been outside most of the day. 
We were cold, wet and tired. 
 And hungry!!

Sushi for lunch!!

Noah opening his raman . . . .

Yummy!!!

We had a little visitor.

My all time favorite sushi - shrimp, avocado and onion!
 We also took our Spring family pictures. 
We found this Shinto Shrine at the back of the park where we took the pictures.







We also took some time to color eggs.  I have tried to keep as many American things as I can for the kids.  We always did this in the States and we had a kit mailed to us.  So . . . . . .






Rachal had this idea to cover the egg with rubber bands before coloring it.


The blue one in the back is the rubber band egg. 

We had a chance to go on a few picnics in the cherry blossoms. 




Time to eat!!!

Our friends from church

Eli found this "neat-o" stick.  He wanted to keep it. 
I said, "Lets take a picture instead!"
