August

Okay,
So I haven't posted anything in a while. Like I said in my last post, I've been busy busy busy.
I thought I'd just run through a few of the fun things that I've done this last month and post some photos. :)

At the beginning of the month we took Deepa (the girl in the middle) to Hamazushi so she can try out Japanese sushi for the first time. She's from India and will be staying with us for a year. It was pretty fun. We had her try Uuni (sea urchin) and although she didn't like it, she thought it was going to be way worse. Because two come on one plate we had Nao (girl in purple..from Japan) try it out because she's never tried it out either. Her reaction was MUCH more enjoyable than Deepa's. Ha! She panicked almost and grabed Steve's bowl of soap and glugged it down. Steve was like, "...ummm... okay...that's fine..." hahaha!! Nao was sooo disgusted. Anyway, that was fun.


We've gone to the beach quite a few times this month. Josh goes gigging (he's been catching some pretty good, tasty fish that we later eat). I either watch kids or take photos of things.



Some photos I took while at the beach...

I'm still trying to figure out my camera so I take strange shots of nothingness from time to time. Ha!


Josh and I took the kids out and Josh bought us all a box of ice-cream to share. Whoohooo... Delicious! Thank you Josh!

We went to our yearly famous Tateyama Firecracker Festival. Thousands and thousands come over to see it from all over Japan. Here we are sitting on a mat watching some flaminco performances while we waited for the firecrackers to start.



Then there was a beautiful sunset, so I ran over and took some photos. This was much more fun to watch than the flaminco dancers... ha! God's Light Shows!! They're the best things!
And then...the hanabi's begain. I didn't take any photos of the hanabi's (just this one).
Aside from all this fun...there's a bunch of work to be done...so I must get going. :) Love ya'll! Keep me in your prayers.
