Tokyo Disneyland

First day at Disney was FREEZING! It poured rain for the first hour and was even calling for snow! Good news is, there were no line-ups! We could finish all we wanted to do by noon! So it was back to the hotel for a hot shower, lunch, a cocktail and a nap! We were then perky to return for some night-time fun!














OUr feet were soaking wet, and all the rainboots in Disney were sold out! So we used this old traveling trick...called the plastic bag foot! The kids thought it was hilarious. The we blow dried our shoes..



Notice the guy from the mariachi band waving to me.....




This was the view from our hotel balcony. It was worth it to stay at the Resort, because we would go back to the hotel every afternoon, for a much needed break!! Tysei loved riding the Mickey Mouse train.....and was sp proud of his ticket!



Back for the evening......
This is the first time we were able to take part in the night-time shows. The night light parade was fantastic...far exceeded my expectations!



Ty's first roller coaster experience. He just just just...on tippy toes, met the height requirement. There was real fear in his eyes...poor thing. For a kiddy roller coaster, I sure screamed my head off!





Day 2...Disney

Spring Time in Kyoto

This is a spot in our neighbourhood. We went for a walk Easter afternoon, and then downtown for brunch.It was a beautiful day!



We have fun too!!

Many have asked....what about Kim and Shunsuke?
Well that would be a whole new blog, and this one is for the kids.....but, yes we have fun too! Actually, we are so so lucky to have our nanny Kiyoe. She often comes to take the kids on an evening adventure (Dinner/movies), so that Shunsuke and I can go out with friends/c0-workers. Here are a couple snap shots from dinner and karaoke....




Tysei is 3!!!!

Happy birthday Tysei!!
We had a birthday party for Ty and his grandparents in Japan. We made them play all sorts of party games.....we shot confetti crackers and everything. Tysei was very excited to get gifts all the way from Canada too. Thank-you Kaden and Kyla! Grandma and Poppa have also spoiled us again!




Shizuoka

We spend a week in Shizuoka at Jiji and Baba's house. Everyday Kianah and Tysei went on an adventure with Jiji and Baba. They visited a Dinosaur Museum an Aquarium, A zoo and much more. It was like a string of field trips! They had a blast.....
