Hmmm...if you greet the day at midnight - the day can be incredibly long.
I woke up and put a turkey in the oven.
Everyone else woke up and we decided to go see Lady Liberty. It was REALLY windy and so we didn't look for geocaches or take any leisurely hikes...but it was fun and we made memories. The sky was incredibly clear and blue. This is the "largest Statue of Liberty in Japan." I wonder if there are more? This one is 65 feet tall from the pedestal.
There was no ice in the water when we visited last.
The
big kids are suitably impressed with the roller slide.
We decided we need to wear snow pants for future outings.
Brrr.
We stopped at
Shimoda Park(Swan Park)on our "way" home. This poor Swan looks miserable to me.
The ducks were very friendly with the advent of winter. Yes, they did eventually eat from Nolan's hand.
These guys stopped traffic. ::snort::
New Year's Day in Japan is a shopping and gift giving day. We gave gifts as well. These cute envelopes are used for giving monetary gifts.
The girls leave tomorrow a.m.
Bre on the train and Krista on the plane. Prayers for safe travel are coveted.
EVERYONE IS HOME!
Choosing Joy!
