A long layover in Narita

Lots of turtles at the shrine
Well, it might be the shortest visit on record, but Uncle Ian came to visit us!!! We didn't want to go too far away from the airport so we ended up exploring in Narita. 

Ian got to order food like we do--Pointing at fake food!!! 


This buddhist ceremony fascinated Coop...or maybe it was because there was fire involved!

Mother Farm



After taking a short ferry ride (with amazing views!) across Tokyo Bay to Chiba, we made our way to Mother Farm. It's only the second time that I've been on a ferry that actually takes your car along and I was super excited about that (It's the little things!). We got a bit lost trying to follow the signs for the farm, but after many small, winding roads, we eventually made it there. The kids were starving so we immediately followed the enticing smell of roasted meats and veggies to the yakiniku restaurant. They also had a curry restaurant and an outdoor hotdog stand (They sold some kind of sausage on a stick w/o bread or anything which smelled amazing, but looked totally sketch!). 
After eating, the kids wanted to head straight to the horses and then see the sheep. It was such a perfect almost-Spring day and I can only imagine how beautiful the farm is once the flowers bloom! There are so many things to do here. We fed animals, rode the ponies, went on the go karts a few times, watched our friend bungee jump and rode the ferris wheel. The next time we're here, we have to pick strawberries, see some of the shows and maybe milk cows! We ended the day with fresh milk ice cream and then headed home. Can't wait to go back!  
Love my sheep!!
Yummy lamb chops, beef and veggies! 

He LOVED feeding the horses! 

He said that he was just like Woody!
