Odaiba- Round 1 and Gundam

Jordan and Binks really wanted us all to go to Round 1 with them before they left. It's like an arcade that also has bowling, batting cages, basketball and a lot of other activities. The little boys were in heaven and even Justin felt young again while hitting balls in the batting cages. Cooper's favorite game was Street Fighter, but he quickly forgot about Round 1 when we walked over to the Gundam Exhibit. He LOVES robots so you can imagine how excited he was to see so many displayed. It was a fun day for everyone!

He got to ride for a few seconds before getting kicked off!

Mabori Kaigan Bon Odori 2013

This is always such a fun event for the kiddos, but this year they chose to actually go to bed super early (which NEVER happens), so Jordan and Binks checked it out without us. I'm not sure why Binks is wearing warm clothes because it was a hot and humid evening!!! 

Observation Day 2013

Coop wasn't sure about Sam running around his classroom! 

However, Sam was VERY excited to be at school with Coop!

Churaumi Aquarium - Okinawa

The grounds connected to the aquarium were so beautiful, but it was waaaaay too hot to really enjoy being outside for long! The boys loved seeing the whale sharks swimming in that enormous tank!

They LOVED this huge aquarium!

Yummy snacks while watching the Whale Sharks and other swimmers go by! 

How cool is this aquarium?!

Piano Coop

It has been 3 months now and Cooper is really enjoying his piano lessons. Now if only we could get him to love practicing just as much! 

May 23, 2010

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.

Spring Field Trip - Enoshima Aquarium

This year's spring field trip was to Enoshima Aquarium. We're already fans of this aquarium so it was a fun chance for Coop to enjoy it with his classmates. 

Coop, I and G

I didn't take this pic, but had to share! (Thanks, Hallie!)

It's not a trip to Enoshima without a pic in the sub

Spider crabs!! 

 

The aquarium is attached to a beach so the boys played in the sand a little bit before we had to be back on the bus!
