The night before we left, I gave Jordan his big boy Toystory backpack so that he can pack his PJs and his favorite toys. He loved carring his backpacks and pulling the suitecase for the first 5 min.
Because it was 4:30am, Jo wanted to lay in the stroller.
They loved seeing big airplanes.
The airline gave Scottie a seat from PHX to SFO for 1.5 hr ride.
4 hour layover in SFO. But because the flight was delayed we waited 5 hrs, trying to keep them up, so that....
They can crash on the plane. They had some mechanical problem (what??? are we ok?) they have to fix something. another 1 hr wait on the plane... Come on!! It is 12.5 hr flight, so it will make it 13.5 hr sitting on the plane.
There were 3 kids in the roll front of us. so they had a party.
From Airport to my hometown Kashihara, Nara.
Teppanyaki (okonomiyaki) with my family. Yes, my grandpa is still alive. He is 96.
Tons of yummy snacks at Convinient store.
Baby loved playing in the paddles after the rain.
OIJ (only in Japan) people park cars backwards. They are all very small. Purius look big in Japan.
They privide these cart for free at the mall. Yes, only one kid ( OIJ) ride. If you have 2 like us... we are screwed...
Anapanman!!
OIJ, there are arcades for kids.
So some adults are playing serious in Kids arcades.
Dallen was supervising the kids at the playarea at the mall. When I came back, Jo was climbing on the pole which says "Do not climb". I know... Dallen can't read Japanese. But still....
Jo was a ringbear at my cousin's wedding
My cousins and aunt
They spelled our name in English. They are all spelled right. Impressive.
Jo making sure that these dianosors have lunch as well. He is feeding shrimp crackers.
Lifesaver, portable DVD player
Typical wedding reception. They are doing Karaoke.
This was a fun game. The groom was guessing which are bride's hand. He though his mom's hand was brides. Oops.
My favorite cousin, Miki.
It was an amazing view
With Grandpa
My cousin, the groom.
Boys loved to go look for bugs, right behind our house. It is rice field.
Yek...
I was teaching Jo that this is how rice grows
Went to Circus with Fumi and her son, Hiro-kun who is 1 month older than Scottie. Lots of fun.
Jo's favorite was Fire Man. He was telling me that he wanted to eat fire after that.
Again, there were signs everywhere "Do not climb." all over.
These carts were fee to use at the mall. Loved it. Again it is for one kid.
Scottie is saying Cheeeeese.
Like old days (more than 10 years ago) we got together at Fumi's house for BBQ. There are Keiko who is a mom of 3 yr, Nana who is a mom of 6 yr and 4 yr, and Fumi is a mom of 1.5 yr.
Nana's girl and Keiko's boy
Fumi's sister

Great pictures and vids! My old roommate and I went to Japan last year and loved it. We also went to Nara (love those wild dear!) and Nikko, Kyoto, and Miyajima. Probably my favorite trip ever. Hope to return some day with my wife. Maybe we can go with you guys!
