Less than 2 days before the earthquake hit, Shane's sister and her family came to visit. Even though half of our plans were cancelled (because of freeways being shut down, trains not running, and radiation threats) we still managed to have a good time and entertain all the kids.
Here are a few things we did:
SHOWA PARK
TERA'S BIRTHDAY
Tera spent her whole birthday ON THE AIRPLANE ride over here, so we made sure we celebrated.
ROLLER SLIDE PARK
OBSTACLE COURSE PARK
Uncle Byron and Aunt Tera bought these fun shirts for the kids. They were so excited!
SHANE'S BIRTHDAY
Blowing out his "cinnamon ball" breakfast cake.
We don't normally do "a cake" for breakfast, but Shane was called back into work on his birthday and we weren't sure if he would be able to celebrate with us that night. Luckily, he was able to celebrate with us both times.
Shane's birthday dinner at "Un Qinto's" (Italian Restaurant).
I love this picture...I have no idea why he's laughing but I think it's cute!
"Un Qinto's" walls inside the restaurant are covered with signatures. I've always wanted to sign it so we finally asked if we could and we made Shane a birthday cake on the wall.
There was one day that the trains were actually running close to normal (while Shane's sister was here) so we were able to go in to Tokyo with them.
Somehow Jayden threw his Monster's Inc stuffed animal (Sulley). It hit the side of the train and fell down in the track. You would have thought the world was over by the way Jayden screamed...he was devastated (to say the least)! Luckily, once the train left the train workers found a nice long "grabber" stick and saved Mr. Sulley :)
ASAKUSA (TOKYO)
Playing at a park near Asakusa.
Even though all our vacation plans were changed...we still had a great time! I don't think the kids even noticed that we didn't do all the things we had planned. They were just SO excited to be with each other! We had a great time! Thanks Tera and Byron for coming to visit us!
