Another Saturday, Another Gym

I look forward to socializing with Arielle in gyms around the valley! What will I do with my Saturdays when I can't go watch Benny play soccer? I left before Dad or Michael were up. Allie was moving so I knew if Dad needed anything beyond what I'd left out for him she would lend a hand.

Benny kicked that ball...

Benny loves the running, stealing the ball and kicking. 

Guess which position he doesn't enjoy?

Allie met up with a friend for a hike and then she headed to Eagle River to help Jamin paint one of his units. Michael woke up with a raging headache and went back to bed. GG read and worked puzzles. 

We ordered 24 new chicks....I'm excited as these old ladies are not holding up their end of the bargain. We got THREE EGGS yesterday...from 24 hens? Not good. LOL  We ordered 18 Black sex link which look too be good layers and great with cold weather and we ordered 6 that will lay blue and green eggs. 

GG and I had dinner and watched an episode of Father Dowling. Allie made it home and we are calling ot a day.

Second Full Day in Japan - Stacia

By Stacia Via Facebook

Full day. We hiked up a mountain to see some Buddhist temples. It was a great time of fellowship with our hosts. I was very glad to get to practice my Japanese. They were so patient with me! It was an absolute blast! I look forward to more practice as the trip continues.

Also, found soft serve ice cream and 'peach water.' Peach water is a drink I always asked for out of vending machines as a kid. Now that I can read, I know it's actually peach tea. Weird. Probably still gonna call it peach water tbh

Turns out, having a fever really impacts one's emotions. Yesterday was so hard. The whole day felt impossible. But now that my fever is gone I am having a much better time.

Editor's Note:

About that peach water...the vending machines in Japan are amazing! One can buy almost anything from them. One even sold eggs! I was in my uber healthy phase when we lived in Japan. We didn't do soda....but Stacia loved the peach water and that seemed like the healthiest choice. She OFTEN had lots of peach water when we were out and about. Now we discover Princess Chatterbox may have been over stimulated and caffeinated those years of her life. LOL Stacia swears she hates tea...maybe she'll play around with some of the peach tea I have here when she gets home. LOL

Also - I find it funny that Life 360 is still letting me know where she is and that she is 3685 miles away from me. LOL
