I had hoped to take a trip to Shimoda, Japan but Neal somehow volunteered to be the First Sergeant and there went our trip. Instead on Saturday, we went to the base "Celebrate America" festival, which is always a big hit with the kids... rides, food, games, and fireworks = FUN!
On Sunday we finally got back to geocaching but were very unsuccessful. We only found 1 out of 4 caches. But we discovered a great park not far from Sunmerries, a great bakery. The kids got nice and dirty and had lots of fun. Quinn had a rough start at the park as he bumped into Neal while riding the zip line. Check out the picture of his fat lip (no pictures of the bloody nose).
On Monday we headed to "Round 1" with the Cooper Clan. Round 1 is a building with 5 floors filled with fun and games. I mean anything you can imagine, bowling, curling, soccer, golf, batting cages, fishing, video games galor, slides and nerf ball shooting area. The list goes on and on. It's a lot of fun for kids and adults. Plus it has the best massage chair that is free.
Here's another great "Only in Japan" story: the bottom of the Round 1 is filled with "The Claw" games. Scarlett saw a Winnie the Pooh pillow she wanted so I tried 2 times to get it but didn't line the claw up quite right. So the Japanese man working was watching us and came over and moved the Pooh pillow on the edge so we could easily win it. And we did on the next try. How awesome is that?! Love this country.

Oh, I just know Scarlett and Kate would be best friends. I can just tell by looking at her. Don't let them grow up any more until I can see them again.
