Asamushi Aquarium

This past weekend we took a trip to Asamushi Aquarium which was about an hour and a half drive from our home. Even Bailey had fun looking at everything!

The Aquarium...
huge turtles, I don't know what kind, everything but the name was in Japanese for all the animals.

This was a big tank that you could walk through. Bay was on my back, sorry. :)

we got to see a dolphin show and the kids LOVED it! Bailey squealed a few times and even tried clapping. 

Bat fish....
Oooo, baracuda.


This was a display the you could stick your fingers in and have the fish nibble on you. Austin refused, I tried and made Craig do it twice so I could get a picture. It felt pretty weird.
Love the displays they came up with. 
Giant crab, Austin wasn't a fan to be standing in front of the crab.
Bay, loved it!
It was hungry!
You were able to touch the starfish and other shells there. Austin actually touched the starfish!!
Mutsu Bay, we drove along this for part of the trip. 

Easter Weekend

This weekend started out with Craig going to a Japanese baseball game and me spend the day by my self for some much needed R&R.  He went and saw the Tohoku Rakuten Eagles Sendai's baseball team in Sendai.

This was the stadium....

band that played outside....

pickle.....

 

balloons they handed out and let go in the 7th inning stretch

This was Easter morning, the kids waiting to go see what the Easter Bunny left them.

Austin made out like a bandit, chocolate bunnies, plastic eggs with candy in them that he had to hunt and a game for his Leapster game. Bailey got a cute dress, I'll see if I can find a picture of her in it. The only down side was that Bailey started running a fever that morning and so we had to miss dinner with our friends, thankfully they gave us some of the yummy fixings! Thanks Sarah!!!
