Konichiwa!! Hello from Japan!
Thanks to Rachel for holding down the fort while my family and I travel to Japan for two weeks to introduce my daughter and husband to my family and celebrate my cousin's wedding! :)
Here are a few highlights from our trip so far!
Visiting the Ueno Zoo near Tokyo. They are famous for having a panda and all I heard from Natalie for the weeks before our trip was "Pandas in Japan!!" so she was very excited to go!
she had a blast and enjoyed the Ninja show! :) (pictured with her grandfather too!)
Visiting the "white phoenix" castle and proving baby #2 was there too!!
Natalie trying to see the Golden Pavilion :) LOVE how she is standing on her tippy toes!! <3
Hanging out with her grandmother at a temple in Kyoto, Japan up in the mountains. GORGEOUS view!
Once we returned to my hometown of Kumamoto, we visited the pre-school that my mother and I attended as children. My aunt now is the principle there and arranged for Natalie to visit and play with the kids. :)
And the main event! My cousin Saori (who was really more like a sister to me growing up) married her sweetheart, Daisuke on Sunday, April 28th! Natalie was a flower girl equivalent. :) She was a little overwhelmed by the whole experience, but I did manage to get a cute photo of her calm. :-p
It's been a great trip and there is still more to come, but I will be returning soon to the US to hit the ground running on all of our upcoming ADORABLE parties!
See you soon! :)
