Bath House and BBQ

What's more American than corn flakes, Uncle Sam and baseball? -- A visit to a Japanese Bath House! We started our Fourth of July weekend celebration with a visit to the Chula-U Resort. We decided not to take any of pictures of the naked pools and instead snapped some shots at our next-favorite pool at the bath house...

The Doctor Fish Pool
As part of our admission price to the bath house, we all received ten minutes of foot soaking time in the Doctor Fish pool. These miniature flesh-eating carp should more appropriately be name Tickle Fish. Some of us could not quit laughing.




The Expression on Her Face Says it All
Holly wasn't quite sure what to think of all the Doctor Fish, but they sure loved her. McCall wouldn't hold still long enough to gather a Doctor Fish following, but she would squeal occassionaly as a fish nibbled on her foot.



Group Shot of the Doctor Fish Feasting on our Phalanges
We went to the bath house with the Eborn family (Trevor and Jessica and wee-little Asher).



What's more American than Football, T.V. and mighty Superman? -- A Fourth of July BBQ and Fireworks! We concluded our Fourth of July weekend celebration by hosting a small backyard gathering with some of our friends...

Happy 4th! Did you take that pic of the fireworks? Those fish things are freaky, I am super ticklish so it was difficult for me to get through my 10 minutes!

The fish thing seems a bit on the creepy side for me. Happy 4th of July. Looks like you had a fun one.
