Tennessee

This post is so late but it is something I didn't want to forget.

In August we took a short trip to Tennessee to visit kentas family. His sister Tomoko flew in from Japan to visit their parents so we decided to take go to Tennessee while she was there.
We had a really nice trip and the kids were really good in the car for the 7 1/2 hour drive.
While we were there we went to a nearby lake for the afternoon and had a picnic in Japanese style! =) It was the yummiest picnic ever. His mom prepared a lot of great food and made some delicious sushi rolls. It is such a beautiful area that they live in! It is so green and trees everywhere an there are lots of hills everywhere which is the closest thing we get to mountains out here. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the lake. Although Noah was scared to go in the water once he discovered that there were little tiny fish swimming around in there. He would not go in unless he was on kentas back. It was pretty funny watching Noah freak out a little bit. He acts like such a girl (like myself) when it comes to bugs,reptiles,fish, all those kind of things..I hope he grows out of this because I dont think this is normal for boys to act this way!
Anyway...
We all had fun trip , especially Noah and Eli who had so much fun with kentas parents and sister.
If you have not been to Tennesse, I highly recommend going sometime in your lifetime. There are a lot of fun things to do there ,a lot of great vacation areas and it is just so beautiful there!
Thank You to Kenta's family for the great trip!
