"Mommy don't squeeze this one"

This is the story of Quinn's second sand ball. Two weeks ago I picked up Quinn from Yochien and he was excited to show me his sand ball that the sensei made for him. I had never seen one before and gave it a gentle squeeze. Well it exploded in my face and on the other mother standing near me. She said, "I've been coming to this school for 3 years and never seen that before." So the next day Quinn came home with a new sand ball and told me, "Mommy don't squeeze this one".
The last picture is Quinn pretending to be a witch.

It's a Long Story ....

Yes that's our Nissan Serena behind that big old pile of stuff!

Sapporo Snow Festival

Here's a few random photos. Doraemon was at the Chitose Airport promoting his movie.

Odori Park - Sapporo Snow Festival 2010

Odori Park is the site of the massive snow sculptures. They were very impressive and the details were amazing. Quinn loved the Mickey Mouse. Check out the picture of Neal & Scarlett in front of Michael Jackson and Quinn and Neal in front of Totoro and many more. The video is of "B Lucky" Quinn's new favorite Japanese boy band (probably bec. he got a flyer picture of them).

Ramen Alley/Susukino - Sapporo Yuki Matsuri

Yes that is real fish and crab in the ice sculpture.

Slides of Sapporo

Here's a few videos of Quinn tubing.

Sapporo Snow Festival Tsudome Site

The Tsudome Site is a kid's wonderland of snow. It was so cold and snowy the day we were there. We went sledding, took a ride on a tube pulled by a snow-mobile, used our head to finish a giant snowman, and played in the snow.
