Mom and Nate took the long trip half way around the globe to visit us in early December, and we all enjoyed every minute of it.
Here we are enjoying some Japanese "Sizzlers" at the mall. We tried to give them as may new culinary experiences as they were willing to try. They were good sports and let us introduce them to sizzlers (meat/veg/rice sizzling on cast iron plates), our favorite Indian curry/lentils/naan, and conveyor-belt sushi.
We visited one of Misawa's many Shinto shrines overlooking the pacific ocean. The Buddhist temple was closed, but we still appreciated that statues and monuments outside.
On a snowy afternoon we visited a replica of a historic Samouri house, complete with rock garden and stone lantern (below) and wax statues in period clothing.
The best part by far of having Nate and Mom here though was all the time they spent hugging, tickling, reading to, chasing, and playing with the girls and teaching Carl how to laugh. After four solid days of hearing little girl voices call out "Uncle Nate & Grandma Bee!", our house seemed awfully quiet when they had to fly back home.
