A haircut, a crane, and water...

Over the weekend, Shawn gave the boys a haircut. Yes, it was Riley's first haircut and all his baby hair is GONE! He doesn't look like a baby anymore...he's a toddler now and I'm kinda sad about that.

After haircuts, we took the boys to a "Curry Festival" at Mikasa Park, where we got to see up close the large floating crane that we've been looking at out our living room window for several days. I just discovered that this crane is, "Yoshida" - Japanese biggest floating crane, built by Mitsubishi heavy Industries Division. It can lift 3,700 tons! I read it's here to put in a bridge to the man-made island that is only accessible now by boat. It's so large, that it looks fake or like an amusement park roller coaster ride. Anyway, Caleb thinks it's AWESOME and loves to see it out our window everyday.

At the festival, there were all kinds of curry. But there were also jugglers and balloon artists. The kids had fun and Shawn and I got sickly full on food.

On the way back, we decided to let the boys play in the water fountains that line the sidewalk. Of course, the boys were attacked by all the Japanese ladies.

One of the ladies was encouraging Caleb to jump into the fountain calling out, " 1,2,3, GO!" and Caleb had to abide. At some point, Caleb got bored just jumping in and decided to take a dive in on his belly and came out COMPLETELY SOAKED! I talked him into giving the nice Japanese lady a big hug...she thought it was great and didn't mind at all.

A haircut, a crane, and water made for a great family day.
