7/18/08 - Jan Ken Po Gakko!


The kids had a blast at Jan Ken Po Gakko. This cultural program went by so fast this year. Scottie and Cori loved every bit of all the projects, crafts and learning how to speak in Japanese. Justin on the other hand was to busy mingling with all his girlfriends :-)...just like his daddy!

Saturday, July 12 - San Jose Obon Festival

Cori and Rinban Fujimoto

Jenny and Cori

It was San Jose Obon Festival this weekend. Set aside all the manpower all weekend long...the kids had a blast! Cori danced with Bando Kai, Scott danced with his cub scout crew and Justin...nope, no odori for him just yet. He loved the game booths...I swear, it's like the "Reno" for kids (ha!). Another year of obon...and many more to come.

Fourth of July

We had a blast! Every year we have a few families over and we put all our fireworks together...and BAM, we have a huge showcase of fireworks. For the first year, Justin was not scared and sat through the entire show. This is Glen's favorite holiday...take a look why! Hope you had a great 4th!

Dillon Beach

Back in May, we took a small trip near by. It's amazing how close we are to such a beautiful place. We're always thinking of going to the typical places, like Hawaii or Disneyland...when we have paradise places like Dillon Beach so close to home. Granted the weather wasn't any where near Hawaii...but you can go clamming or find the seashells like no other beach. Thanks to my cousin Mary and Aaron, we stayed at her cottage beach house! Such a great house near a wonderful little town. The kids had so much fun finding sand dollars and digging for the little "baby crabs"
