Summertime Excursions as of Late

Exploring one of the few nature parks in Tokyo.

I asked them to turn around and pose for a picture for me and this is what they came up with.

Mischievous little bean. 

Us- will we ever get a decent family photo??

Noah illustrating some serious love of carbs as he eats a sandwich in one hand while holding a rice ball in the other.

Last photo of his floppy effortless hair before Naoto struck again. 

A hat was definitely in order after the so called 'trim'

Pretending he is not about to hit anything in his path with that large stick.

Making lots of wishes.

Trying for an artsy cover-up of Noah's wacked out hair cut. We opted to start over and go for a buzz cut after this, unfortunately he now looks like a pineapple.  

This is the face we now get when we ask this one to smile.

Boys and their love of bugs- this one is showing a dead something or other.

And this one is attempting to catch beetles. 

Silly Times & Cuisine That is Getting Interesting

The innocent fake out.

My two favorite people in the entire world

Group hug- as Kai always declares

  Around the world continued: Iran, which although it doesn't look pretty it was good. The main dish was just seasoned beef and cabbage over rice then we made a type of meat ball, corn soup in a light broth and the side was 2 different types of these egg pancakes one with veggies, one with chicken.

Kenya, who's staple food ugali (cornmeal and water) wasn't exactly tasty. The potato, spinach, kidney bean, corn mush was good though and our pitas turned out well.

Indonesia- extremely yummy, what's not to like about meat on a stick, noodles and rice.

And Kai's bum in a book. Every time Noah looks at this book one of their bottoms makes it into the peach.
