A Great Day for a Picnic

Well, this weekend was another beautiful one! We rode our bikes both Saturday and Sunday. Curtis was in the mood to shop this weekend so I jumped on that! Saturday we rode around and did window shopping. Sunday we went and tried a church in Yokohoma, Grace Bible Church. It is a fairly small church with a band and singers. All the songs were in Japanese but the announcements and sermon were in both Japanese and English. Many members of the congregation are Japanese with some foreigners. The preacher is from America as well. It was really amazing to me and Curtis how passionate the Japanese were during the song service and worship. They seemed to really soak in every word. We met some new people and overall enjoyed it. We are trying another church in Tokyo next Sunday.


After church we took our bikes to a pier for a picnic lunch. It was so nice and Avery was so excited about it. We then did more window shopping. See the pictures below.

Avery fell in love with this big bear sitting on the bench outside the Hard Rock Cafe Yokohoma.

Every Saturday, street performers do acts in the courtyard of the Landmark Tower and Queens Tower. This guy was pretty funny.

This is the view Yokohoma City on one side of the pier we picniced at. The pier was made of wood with grassy patches in the center.
This was the view of the Yokohoma Bay Bridge on the other side of the pier we had our picnic on.

This was a ship that was coming into port at the pier that was decorated for Christmas.

Curtis's head was getting a little cold, so he thought he would get himself some hair!!! He is now planning to join the Beatles.

HAHAHAHA!! I love the wig!

Looks like y'all are really enjoying your time there and soaking up the culture.

Deana, please smack your hubby for me. He played a really mean joke on me that made me cry (until I realized he was joking). He'll know what I'm talking about!

Well, it just seems like the fun never ends in Japan! Curtis, I heard about that mean prank you pulled on Stephanie - I'm gonna smack you for that too. By the way, I love that wig on you also, you look pretty good with hair (or without for that matter)...lol.
