Today for Avery's birthday, she and I met Michelle and her girls to go to a huge mall at Minatomiria for a day of shopping. First...Avery and I got on the wrong bus to meet Michelle at her train station. No BIG deal..I figured out where we were and where we needed to go with a little help from an 80 year old Japanese lady on the bus who was very sweet and could speak a little English. So, we got off the bus at Isogo train station and road the train to Ishikawa-cho train station. We then had to walk through Motomachi (shopping district) to the Motomachi-chukagia train station (about 15 minute walk). This is where we finally met Michelle and the girls. Oh...and did I tell you that it was pouring down rain the entire time!
Anyway...we finally made it and went shopping. We took Avery and the girls to Build-A-Bear where I let Avery pick out a dog to stuff and dress in a birthday out fit. I told them that it was her birthday today and they gave her extra special treatment. They made everyone in the store stop and sing happy birthday (in English) to her as we all played instruments they gave us to play. They gave her a little extra gift and took her picture too. She loved it!
Last night I baked her a cake with the wonderful things that came in our air shipment and we gave her the bike we bought her in the states. She loved that too...however; it rained all day today and she didn't get to ride at all.
By the way...mom, dad, and Aunt Pat, Avery got your birthday cards today! Excellent timing! She was so excited to get mail...and so was I.
Love to all!

Looked like Avery had FUN!! I hope she got my message I left for her.
She got your message and she was so excited. Thank you for calling! Love you!
Seems like it has rained since you got there! All of you are either Sick or Injured. Hope the adventure has met the rough road.
Specking of ROAD; have you had serious discussions about a CAR?
