This is pretty fun...

We're having fun hanging out with our.Japanese kids, they are pretty hilarious!

We had a pretty lazy relaxed morning of sleeping in. Then we had a yummy breakfast of scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and toast. Then we thought it would be cool for the boys to see where we got our eggs from....

They thought it was pretty cool, so they each held a chicken...

Then they played some video games for a while, they were all getting so into it, laughing so loud cracking up, it was making me laugh in the other room, I guess there's no comunication barriers when it comes to video games.

It was so funny listening to them, but everytime I tried to get a video they were kinda quiet, oh well, here you go...

Some more hanging out time.... so serious...

Not so serious...The kids' dad, Josh, was in town from California. So he came over and took all 4 kids to the mall. That was pretty cool, I knew the boys would probably love to go to the mall, but I wasn't looking forward to it, so Josh took them. Here's the kids and their dad...

I told Jade to take pictures while they were hanging out at the mall....

Josh bought Hayata this sweatshirt that says "Washington" on it. He also bought him an expensive jacket, I couldn't believe it. He was spoiling all 4 of the kids, I guess it really was good that he's the one who took them to the mall, cause I would have NOT spent that kind of money!

They had lunch at the food court... hey are they eating Japanese food????

That was really nice of Josh to take out all 4 kids and spoil them rotten, he flys back to California tomorrow.... Josh and the kids again...

Then the kids wanted to try the food the boys brougt over from Japan for gifts. I was up stairs for a while, and the boys were saying "where's the mother? where's the mother?" so when I came down, Kent was about to eat this dried up baby fish, it was disgusting. When Kent ate it all I heard was loud crunching, and I made a loud gagging sound and the Japanese boys just busted up laughing. Then Jade ate a dried up dead fish, too. It's hard to tell in this picture but you could see the fish's eyes, mouth and everything... crunch... crunch... crunch...

Super cute picture of Jade and I....

The boys said that they liked hamburgers, so we wanted to take them out to Red Robin... these kids are great, they have no problem posing for the camera, as you can see...

Hide (Hee-day) pointing to the hamburger he's going to order...

Hayata being goofy...

Hide showed me some of his Japanese money, so I took a picture of it next to a $20... kinda blurry, their money was shorter but wider....

The waiter took a picture of all of us...

They thought the tower of onion rings was pretty cool...

After dinner, I needed to stop at the grocery store for some syrup for our pancakes tomorrow, and some other things. I thought the kids would get a kick out of going to an American grocery store, and I was right. They hung out in the produce section for a while taking pictures of different vegetables... hahaha...

Hayata pretending this vegetable was really heavy.... we have a couple of comedians....

Both boys got to scan some of the food at the self check out, they also got to feed money into the machine...

Man, I hope we don't make these kids sick, when Hayata was eating his donut he kept saying "soooo sweeeet" but he ate the whole thing!!The ride home....Our favorite cousin Kyle was coming over to hang out and spend the night, we got a donut for him, but I think he was more excited about eating the Japanese food, and yes Laura, he ate a crunchy dead baby fish, too!I think Jeromy's having fun with the guys, too....Now the guys are up playing video games, working off some of that sugary donut before they go to bed, while playing a little guitar.

Good night!
