Jo-kun's First Japan Visit

J's first train ride. It was in the middle of the day, so it was not crowded.
He felt a sleep right away just like a car ride. April in Japan is Cherry Blossom Season. I have not seen it for 12 years.
It was very pretty as I remember. Can't forget sweets come along with Cherry Blossom.

My sister came home early from work to go see it,
so that we will miss a big crowd on the weekend. J loved it
This is J's 93-year old Great Grandpa.
J is a first grandson and a first great grandon in Amai Family.

J got to play with great grandpa. This is J's Grandpa. Grandpa has not held a baby for years (for 28 years)
so his arms were sored.
My Aunt (my dad's sister) loves taking care of him. She took him for a walk around the neighborhood. He was a little hero. Everyone knew he is half (mixed). This is my uncle (my dad's brother) I have not seen for 16 years.
It was great that J got to meet him.
I had to take a picture of J and him, since next time when we see him, J might be a teenager.

This is my best friend in Japan, Fumi. J was very happy to meet her. We visited my friend, Nana and her kids.
This is my friend, Keiko's son, Rintarou. I think J looks a lot like him.
Sacchan took J to Toysrus in Japan. This is Samurai hat for Children's Day in May.
J was a happy baby.
In a mall.
Bread (Pan) Store. There are tons of yummy bread in Japan.
They are doggy clothes. Wish Santa was a girl... There were 2 big stores just for pets at the mall.
Do you want to guess who these cakes are for? Woof Woof.
At a grocery store.
with lots of Bento (lunch box)

I didn't even know you two had a little baby boy now! Congrats. And how great that you go to take him back to Japan. It looks like it was a lot of fun. I love that he has his share of basketball clothes... hmmm, do you do that shopping Dallen?
