So Far....

Well, yesterday we took the family on a local tour of Yokohoma. We road the huge ferris wheel, took them for their first Japanese meal consisting of tonkatsu, and Curtis's dad and Austin road a couple of roller coasters. We were all exhausted at the end of the day.

Today, we took everyone to the church we've been attending here. Afterwards, we braved the horrendous rain and went to a baseball game all bundled up in coats and ponchos...unlike in the US, the Japanese will still play ball even in the rain...that's dedication.







We came back home to warm up and dry off before heading out for a fabulous meal of Shabu Shabu. This is a technique of cooking meat in a boiling pot of water. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and we all left STUFFED!!!



Tomorrow we head out for the day to Kamakura...so check back to see the adventures!

It appears to me that y'all are doing a wonderful job so far of showing the family a good time. I love the pic of Avery with the chop sticks, she seems to handle them better than I do a fork..lol.
I could not help but notice the two "older folks" at the table look just a bit tired, don't work them out so hard. I will stay tuned for tomorrows fun.....
..Much Love

It does seem you ALL are having fun even in the rain. Surprised you braved the rain. You know

if the Baggett clan had been there we would be holed up like foxes in a hole. But it did seem you were well prepared for the weather.
Continue to have fun. We`ll look for more adventure tomorrow.
Love to all, Grand Baggetts
