Summer in pictures

After we got back from Australia Uncle Ben came to visit for two weeks. We had a lot of fun spending time with him and showing him as much of Japan as we could. After that we had one week with Daddy before he left for sea. He is still gone but we are counting down the days until he gets home, its almost here! Below are pictures of some of the things we have been doing during this HOT summer and in between the chaos of travel, visitors, and daddy gone.

Showing Uncle Ben the Sushi Go Round!

Making our own Sushi at home. Ben climbed Mt. Fuji a few days before and didn't wear sunscreen!

Robot Restaurant in Tokyo. Yea its as crazy as it looks!

Yokohama Baystars Baseball game! Such a fun game!

Aubrey and I took Ben to see Enoshima Island. 

Had a really fun 4th of July celebration in Yokosuka.

Princess sparklers

4th of July concert, the band was awesome!

A few days before Daddy left we went on a beautiful hike just around the corner from where we live.

Nate took the girls to see his room on the ship. They thought his bunk bed was so cool(its really not).

Parks in Japan are the coolest!

Swim lessons with Miss Trix!

Disney on Ice with Jordan & Aaron our favorite Texan-Japanese friends!

Dare to Dream was a really great show! Mostly in Japanese but still magical for us Americans.

Missing our Daddy is probably what we did most.

Sydney:: Taronga Zoo and some Random phone pics

One day we took the girls to the Taronga Zoo. It is a really fun and gorgeous zoo. I didn't take many pictures at the zoo but here are a few.

Got off the ferry and headed up to the zoo in a cable car! It was cool to see the animals below.

The zoo gave a gorgeous view across the water.

Checking out the Elephants. I think the girls favorite part was watching an elephant get a bath, we had an up close and personal experience but it was too hard to take a pic.

This guy was pacing around very hungry and active!

Headed back on the ferry. Such pretty views! 

Random pictures below of our trip.....

They were singing "Let it Go" here in the winter wonderland tent.

Pure Bliss

Aubs is a zip lining fool like her mom:)

Reagan having fun on the Opera house steps

Found a great park after dinner one night

This was the train ride to the airport. I used the double to hold the luggage, why is it always so much easier traveling to than from the airport on the train. We were a hot mess on the way home and the trains were super crowded.
