St. Simons and the trip back

 I forgot about these pictures from our trip through the Tokyo airport-yes we ate at McDonalds and it tasted just like when you eat there in the States or the one in Manila and they even took my credit card.


 I guess this is how you write trash in Japanese
 There was a really cool store of origami displays that my pictures do not do justice at all!  Even the kids were fascinated with all these things made of folded paper.

 Scott loved these little folded cranes that were made with magnifying glasses and tweezers
 Which one is OUR plane to ride on Mommy?
 I don't think that I have ever used a bathroom with directions this complicated before!
 Just a little while longer and we begin flight #2
 Ashley and Ryan slept-Scott and I just watched movies.  He crashed not long after we arrived and it was ugly for a while.  The others stayed up long enough to eat Chick Fil A and hug some sweet cousins who came to see us before falling into bed.  Jet lag coming back was better coming back this time!
 Just a couple of days after arriving in Atlanta we set off for the beach-thanks to Grammy for driving!
 Here are Joy-above and Blythe-below in the sand

 Scott and Ryan
 Emily and Joy
 Ashley doesn't like the ocean much does she?
 Ryan on the paddleboard with Jake

 Jumpin' Abby Jane

 and Ashley
 Coloring on the porch
 Snack time-Joy loves her hummus!
 Sweet Aunt Emily made flowerpot cupcakes for a little girl who was super excited about turning 4!
 Monkeys in the tree!

  1. How I loved that week at the beach.... I'm am still awed by the fact you guys could do it so quickly after arriving on the opposite side of the globe. Basically you did everything in the middle of the night body-wise, and everybody still had a good time....
