<b><u>April 17-18, 2009</b></u>
Friday (4/17/09): We stayed at Okuma tonight. It rained all day so were were grateful that we had a cabin. Jeremiah made us dinner so we didn't have to bring much food at all, except for tomorrows dinner.
The kids couldn't wait to play in the cabin and eat smores. They ate marshmallow one after another.
We tried to put the kids to bed early but Xander stood at the door pounding on it and yelling, "JIICHAN!! JIICHAN!! JIICHAN!!" Everyone thought it hilarious and Jiichan came to the rescue.
We were getting ready for bed we were cleaning things up and Mom ran straight into one of the ropes that was holding up the tarp. Someone saw her walking straight towards it but didn't say anything. They thought it would be funny to see if she actually ran into it and sure enough she did. Whoops!
Staci and Dad were asleep the minute their heads hit their pillows but the rest of the family was another story. Kaitlyn & Xander were too hyper and didn't want to go to sleep. Mom laid with them for a little and then they finally fell asleep around 11:00. What a late night!
SATURDAY (4/18/09): After we had breakfast we cleaned up the cabins. The kids helped with the dishes and Dad climbed a tree to get a rope down. It was funny watching him try to untie it without falling. We just kept wondering, How many marines it takes to get down a rope? There was also a crow that kept trying to eat our food we were cleaning up. He kept stealing our cheese and coming back for more.
Then the kids got to ride in the go carts. This is one of their favorite things here at Okuma right now.
We headed over to Neo Park. They have mostly birds with a few other animals as well. This time we rode on the train instead of walking around the park. It was nice only the guy spoke only Japanese so who knows what he was saying. We just made up our own tour.
We stopped quickly before we left and got a Japanese picture taken. We also got some Japanese donuts. They were yummy and had chunks of pineapple in them.
For lunch we had CoCo's Curry and then headed home to pick up the puppies from the kennel. They were so excited to see us. We were going to get a babysitter tonight but we got home late and Dad decided not to go to the Priesthood session of conference. So he stayed home with the kids while Mom got a pedicure at Cocok's.
That night we met at Jeremiah & Eryn's house for games but ended up just visiting. The kids all fell asleep on the way home and Mom & Dad were ready for bed as well. It was a long day!
