Fun with Grandma, days 1, 2, and 3

Grandma Hill, my mom, is visiting from Lexington, Kentucky right now. She found her way to our apartment from Narita airport on her own. Thankfully she had our number to call because the cab driver was not too sure where the address was. I was able to communicate with him in my broken Japanese. And she made it! The hubs was away the day she arrived for work so I would not have been much help at the airport trying to pull suitcases and push a stroller, so we opted for the taxi option. On Thursday, we took her to two of our favorite parks and to get our first round of flu shots for the kids. The doctor is located in Hiroo, so she got to play with us at Arisagaya park and we had a picnic lunch at Robot park in Roppongi Hills. She also got to attend Miss M's sports class on Thursday afternoon. Friday we went to the K Man's music class in the morning, had lunch at our favorite bakery in Toyosu, and visited the gas museum. She also got to try her first Melonpanna bread while we watch Anpanman on Friday afternoons. On Saturday, I got to take Grandma to Kappabashi dori for some pottery shopping while Daddy stayed home with the kids. After the K Man's nap we went to walk around Skytree, the new Tokyo tower. It has been built for quite awhile but we still had not been out there yet. It has a huge mall with an aquarium so Grandma took us to see the fish. We did not go up in the tower as it was starting to rain and we did not want to wait in the line to not see it on a clear night. But it was a pretty amazing sight to take in. I hope to go back in the winter on a clear day, but as my husband says, we live on the 48th floor so all I have to do is look out our balcony for a nice view. :) Today it has been raining all day so we have stayed inside and played before heading to church in a bit. Enjoy the pictures. I am sure we will have more to come with our visit!
