We actually made it here. NJ's been begging, everyone tells us what an amazing place it is for kids, it seems like everyone's been here but us! If it wasn't for the deal we got he would have waited much longer. Poor guy. Seeing how excited and happy was made it so worth it.

He drove his own little car, he was so excited! 
Just like Ah-gong's car!
Helicopter ride.


Pulley lift, it was pretty high. I'm glad he's ok with heights, maybe even more than Baba!


Safari ride.

The dinosaur ride, NJ was so excited! It makes me happy that he likes coasters the way we do (and did when I was young too)!

NJ was sitting so nicely outside watching the cars drive by. I'm glad he found some entertainment. 

We took a little visit to the base nearby to meet with a friend. We met about a year ago at an adoption reunion. She was kind enough to give me really great tips on my trip to Japan since she and her family lived there for almost ten years. I brought her back some Nozomi jewelry. The necklace was one of my favorites that I picked out and the white earrings matched. I'm happy she likes it and put it on right away, beautiful! 

Another visit with some friends. How sweet that they opened their home to us and invited us to have dinner with them. NJ really enjoyed the toys and playing with his friends. 


We also got the extra treat of s'mores with the biggest marshmallows I've ever seen.
Big smiling faces and laughter, I love it! So grateful for their hospitality and friendship. 



Some family time together.
