Japan Day 3

Ok got it figured out...seems I didn't use my camera at all on day 3 just my phone.  Now that is weird! Ok now that I've got these from my phone I think the one lunch picture I have posted is from my camera and it is from Day 3 not whatever day I have it on!

We went to an Outlet Park Mall today.  Here is Tatem standing in one of the cute sitting areas.  It played music once something was inside.

 The Tree outside of the mall!

 We found this interesting... it is also outside the Mall, not sure how it tied in.  But Baseball is a BIG thing in Japan.

 They had this outside the mall too.  Not sure what it is suppose to be but the kids had fun climbing on it.  Just 3 rocks placed side by side??

 Headed out to dinner...just another view of the street/sidewalk and all the umbrella's

 This place is called the Deep Fried Place.  I know I have more pictures from this place but this is all I can find.

There is a bar like a salad bar and you pick out what food you want to Deep Fry.  It is a reservation only place and really hard to get into.  Once you get your food you go back to your table and fry it!  It was kinda fun and yes I found a few things to eat.

 I think I lost whatever was on my stick...bread or a potato, I love how TerrieBeth is smiling at the camera and Trip is worried and I'm confused!!!  ha,ha,ha

 Just wanted to catch all the umbrella's, people and traffic!

 Love the sidewalk here!

 Christmas once again.  But sometimes the translation doesn't come out right!!!

 This tree is lit up, so click on it and you will be able to see it better.

Stay tuned for more fun filled days in Japan

Japan Day 5

Ok well the time difference has me all thrown off.  I think this day is like Day 5, but according to pictures it day 4....I'm so confused any way it is Thanksgiving Day!!!

To start it off we went for a 5K run.  We have been running in the 5K Turkey Trot in Boise the last couple of years and so we thought it would be fun to do it in Japan.  So I had Terance King make us some shirts.  These are all pictures from after the run.

 We did an elevator picture so everyone could be in it!

Fixing Thanksgiving dinner!

Appitizers!  Yummy !

 Dinner is served

 View from a walking bridge as we were headed to get dessert.

 Doesn't seem to matter the day or the time it is always busy here.   It doesn't seem to matter where you are either, it's the same everywhere.

 Dessert was at the new Chocolate Bar

 Cute display for another store in front of it...Tatem got in it for her picture and you should have seen the Japanese people start taking pictures of her.  I was too slow with my camera to capture it.

 So in Japan they are very organized.  Even with their lines for waiting, to eat, pay or shop.  They have a sign or someone holding a sign on the other side of the sidewalk so you don't block it or the door.  You get in line and wait.  Here we are finally at the front of the line.  I think we had to wait about 1/2 hour.  Once you get close to the front, they take your order, then when you go in, you give them your paper and pay and they make the stuff.  Everything is made fresh.

 Oh wait here is the picture of everyone snapping pictures of Tatem!

 The Chocolate s'mor!   So Good!!

 Our hot chocolate...in a hug mug which TerrieBeth really likes because you hug it with you hands and then they stay warm ;o)

 The boys with their Milkshakes!  Yep that is real ice cream on top!  Topped off with a little chocolate!

Stay tuned for some more fun filled adventure from Japan!!!
