Just a normal meal for Cameron- Batman headphones, Batman bowl, juice, jammies, and Mickey chicken nuggets!
A picture from a lunch out with some ladies from church. They are always so kind to let me try to practice my Japanese!
The kids had a week off from school at the beginning of March and we decided to take a long weekend and drive down to Fukuoka. Fukuoka is a city on the Japan island of Kyushu. On our way we stopped in Yamaguchi and visited the Akiyoshidai caves. The limestone caves were a great way to escape the rainy day!
In Fukuoka we spent the 1st day visiting Uminonakamichi Seaside park. The park was huge with a ferris wheel, a roller coaster, go-carts, water obstacle course, a zoo, 3 huge playgrounds, miniature golf, and a huge cloud jumping pillow. We practically had the park to ourselves since we visited on a Friday. The park was so huge you could take a train to visit each part of the park.
We also visited Robosquare later in the day and saw Japan's fascination with robots come alive!
Mike and I were able to attend endowment sessions at the Fukuoka LDS temple during our trip and on Sunday after church we took the kids to see the temple. Land is so scarce and precious in Japan that the Fukuoka temple has no grounds surrounding it. It is also right next to the zoo so a huge Coco-Cola billboard blocks some of it's view from the road. Needless to say though, it was still beautiful inside and out. When you enter it is hard to believe you are still in a large busy city because it is so peaceful!
