On Saturday, you may be suprised to learn that we went out exploring...
First Stop: Mini-Mini Zoo and Bakery. I don't know why this idea hasn't caught on in America. What better combination could there be than smelling and petting animals followed by eating a delicious pastry?
Second Stop: Cinderella Castle Park. This park was fun except that the huge playground that was shown in our park book, was evidently torn down a few years ago. However, the view from this park was fabulous. For the first time since we arrived here we could actually see both sides of the island at the same time (Pacific Ocean and East China Sea) and we could tell we were living on an island.
Third Stop: Some Other Park. Since Cinderella Castle Park didn't quite meet our playground expectations, we roamed around and found a different park with a playground. At this park we learned that McCall is lacking one important childhood survival instinct - A fear of falling.
While we were using the teeter totter trying to figure out if Jason weighs more than Holly and Denver put together, we looked over to find McCall about ten feet up a rope net.
After the rope net McCall discovered the rope pyramid. We didn't help her climb this at all and she actually made us really nervous. After she got to the very top and started jumping around we couldn't handle it anymore and climbed up to spot her in case of a slip. She did not like this and kept telling us to stay away and not touch her. What two-year old wants to jump around alone on a little rope twenty-feet in the air?
Last Stop: Home.
Information Overload
If you know Denver then you'll know that this picture pretty much explains it all. He is continually rattling off different facts about everything. At night he enjoys studying his various information sources so that he can talk your ear off the following day. Occasionally his brain overloads and he will fall asleep while studying.

Loved the video of the tooth pulling, we have just started into this ritual with E loosing a few teeth. You have a climber on your hands with McCall, scary and awesome at the same time.
I decided Japan has some crazy parks. You never run out. Oh by the way, are you using your new camera? If so, the pictures are wonderful. Later dayz
Tell McCall she can come climbing with us any old time. We really miss the killer parks there, we will just live through you guys for now.
Denver is tough little guy... the video of him getting his tooth pulled is too cute. He made it look to easy. When Avery has to go through this, we can use this video to show her how it is done. Love the pictures of all the fun and crazy parks you guys get to visit. Your blog is always exciting to read. McCall is such a tough little girl, she seems to have no fear... what a cutie! I love her crazy hair!
I really liked seeing Denver and his tooth being pulled! You guys have quite the days there in Japan!
McCall is taking after both her crazy parenst! Love the smile Denver, you are growing up so fast! Love Ya!
Holly I think that you need to become a dentist. You made it look way too easy.
