Magical Weekends





In August, we went to a really neat museum. It had a special Disney exhibit at the time with original work and drawings with makings of all the classical movies. We weren't allowed to photograph inside, but they also had a magical "Tangled" room with floating lanterns that we could! It was such a neat place. We spent the rest of the weekend at home watching Pocahontas and singing disney songs. I cant wait until Luke is a little older to start watching all the movies and fall in love with the magic of Disney all over again.





Another magical weekend, we splurged and got a Frozen S'more and Watermelon Sandwiches from Dominque Ansel's Bakery.  The S'more is made from Tahitian vanilla icecream covered in chocolate flakes and then enrobed in honey marshmallow. When you order they put on a wooden branch and torch it. It was a fun date, too bad I can't taste haha.





Also... had to put this picture in! This is normally how we spend our weekends. Luke and Riley listening to music and playing around.

hakone day



Sept. 2, 2017: We went out with some friends to Hakone, Japan. It was such a great day! Hakone is a little mountain town outside Tokyo with a lake. We took a cruise around the lake and a ropeway up and enjoyed the views and walked around. 

We love the Starks Family, they invited us to join them on this adventure. Carissa is one of my most favorite friends in Japan. She had a baby in Japan too and just has been here for me through the ups and downs of international living. They are such a fun family. Today was one of the best days in Japan. 




We just love the Starks! Carissa, Aaron, Easton and Maya. 
















I just love this moment! These two boys just stared at each other and Luke just chatted to him for a few minutes.

Kamakura Hiking



Spent a Saturday in Kamakura following a hiking trail through the woods that connected Kenchoji Temple to Zuisenji Temple. 













a little over-kill on the sunscreen 😂
