More Fun with Grandma and Papaw

So, the week is drawing to a close and we are having a lot of fun with Grandma and Papaw. Thursday it rained ALL day so we relaxed at home and played inside, which was good for Miyako so she could recover from a full day at Disney from Wednesday. Thursday night we ate dinner at their hotel in a fabulous French restaurant. They put us in our own private room, which I think was due to us having a toddler. She had a French cheese plate that cost way more than any almost two year old needs to spend on cheese, but oh well. :) I got a picture of my meal and dessert, the three scoops of ice cream that were chocolate, vanilla, and cheese. It actually was pretty decent, the cheese flavor that is. Miyako even liked it.

The rain finally went away today. YAY! So, we went back to the fish market so my dad could actually look at all the goodies. The first time we went it was pouring down rain so he did not get to really check out all the goods they offer you at the fish market. From there, we walked to a large park called Hamarikyu Gardens. Miyako loved running around in the wide open spaces. I love the large open spaces right in the middle of the city. Miyako also enjoyed playing with the Play-doh Grandma brought her from the US. Not only did she enjoy the play-doh but she also enjoyed stacking the containers up and knocking them down. :)

Tonight we took Grandma and Papaw to have monja-yaki, only they got full before we could order it. We had stir-fried veggies for an appetizer, okonomiyaki, and yaki-soba or fried noodles. Kan was our master chef. He jokes that it is the closest he gets to grilling out here in Japan. Tomorrow is our last day before they head back to the US on Sunday. We are heading to Shibuya to see the large crazy intersection with thousands of people crossing at one time and then dinner in Roppongi Hills. I did not get to show them near as much as what I wanted due to some bad weather, but we did get to spend a lot of quality time together which is what the purpose of their trip was. Tomorrow I will post pics of our time in Shibuya and Roppongi.
