Daikeien Amusement Park

Fay and me with Deryk and Fiona along with my brother's Hik, Aigo and Mas, and Meg went to this awesome amusement park. Around here, if you're looking for go-carts, Daikeien is the closest place. 

This is Hik's new car

We had Fiona with us, and she couldn't stand the sound of the roaring go-carts, so I had to take her outside. This is a little play area for kids

I posted pics of go-carting in Fay's and my Anniversary. Fay and I have to admit that it's funner with more people. We did 4 on 4. Truth be told, I came out on top both times I raced. I learned the importance of aggression from the last time I lost to Fay. ha! This time I turned those corners real well. 

This is us in competitive conversation. My brothers can't stand loss. The loser has to convince the others of the valid reasons

We did some hoops...

...ate ice-cream...

...got some goodies from the UFO catchers, but also missed some...

...and at some points we just hung out

The sunset was worthy of some picture-taking

After which we went to the over-crowded Costco, got two whole pizzas, and had to sit out in the cold for lack of space inside

Great day though! Tons of fun. 

Peter visit and Castle Park

On Sunday this weekend we visited Peter (of Hannah) at the hospital. We were going to take him flowers, but ran short on time. Instead we took him blue cheese (which Fay said all french ppl like) and crackers. 

Then we went to castle park, which we regulate quite often these days. Our options sort of ran out after the earthquake. Castle park has been our usual option of choice because of the low radiation readings. 

We chose a crazily windy day though. As you can see in the pics above, the grandmother willow trees' leaves are blowing horizontally. 

Post-Pneumonia Weekend

This was some cheap lunch deal they were having at Gusto for kids

My Post-Pneumonia Outing

I was indisposed for 2 weeks with pneumonia, and this is the 1st weekend I had with our boys since. We went to Costco, IKEA, and Kaldie's (or however it's spelled), took a Shuttle bus to the nearest station, transferred twice, and walked 15 minutes back to our house. 

Merry Christmas

Somewhere on the way going from Costco to IKEA there was a classy high-class train exhibit. Inside was quite nice.

Kenji's Birthday Party

Oh, it all went so well. Kenji requested that all the attendee's dress up like a ninja or some sort of warrior. And so during the few days that led up to it, I looked into the origami shuriken and a few ninja masks. I instituted the colorful decoration and the birthday banner--yeah, that took time. 

Meanwhile, Fay was busy doing her magic--the whole McDonalds deal: hamburgers, shaka-shaka chicken, french fries, soft-drinks. It was good!

Calvin and I were the McDonald's front staff. Each kid would hand us 100 yen and they would proceed with writing down their orders. Once decided, the order papers would go to the kitchen, and they would get whatever they ordered. 

Kappa

Yep, we're at Kappa again, munching on those sushi's. We just thought that it'd be special somewhat to grab a bite to eat somewhere outside of home to acknowledge Fay's 1st job.
