Taiku no hi (Sports Day)

Monday was a holiday, so we went a little road trip to Ibaragi prefecture (just north of where we live) to see a friend of Yoko's mom. It was a perfect fall day with clear skies and a gentle breeze. After visting with Yoko's mom's friend, we stopped by Osugi Jinja (click for larger slide show), a Shinto shrine. This site is around 800 years old, but has been recently refurbished. Being a nice day, it was a great place to snap a few pictures.
We went to a driving range the other night. You might never guess this was only Yoko's second time golfing..

Hi! You guys are having a lot of fun! What a great time in your life. We are glad Yoko found a part time job, hopefully she will a full time job soon. I can't wait to hear Erik speaking Japanese. We are all doing great over here. We are going to the pumkin patch this afternoon. Logan really wants to type a message, so here it is ... kmfdjjf5255551e
