This past weekend felt like a fun filled one...:-) On Friday night we tried out a Japanese restaurant called Yen in Belmont Shore which was not authentic like we had hoped so we will never be going back... So obviously this was not the fun part of the weekend but spending time together and being out on a Friday night was fun:-)
そして、土曜日の朝早くブライアンと一緒にディズニーランドへ行って来ました。ブライアンがマディソンと居てくれるお陰で１０月だけのハロウィーンスペシャルのスペースマウンテンに乗る事が出来ました。そして、カリフォルニアアドベンチャーでブライアンが家族写真を撮ってくれました...
Then Saturday, since Dave did not have to work, we of course headed to Disney. This time we recruited our friend Brian to join us so we could go on the special Halloween edition of Space Mountain and we were able to get a nice family photo in California Adventure...
これはブライアンとマディソンがリトルマーメイドの乗り物に乗っている所です...ブライアンはパスを持ってしょっちゅうここに来ているのにリトルマーメイドに乗るのはこの日が初めて！そして、２人の目が光っているのはハロウィーンにちなんでかな...いつでもマディソンが誰か他の人と乗り物に乗ると私達が見るのはいろいろ真剣に見ているマディソンの表情だけ...：）
Here's Brian and Madison on The Little Mermaid ride... Brian's very first time with the ride although he is a pass holder and comes here a lot!
their eyes aren't actually that evil in real life... When we let Madison ride with someone else we come with we enjoy watching her more because she is so focused and so into the ride!
そして、この日は特別に白雪姫のドレスを持って来たんだけど良い子に着てくれていたのはたったの５分間だけ、その後は自分で脱ごうとしてこんな状態になります...でも凄い可愛いんだよ、周りの人達もなんて可愛いんだーて言いっぱなし。自分でも気づいてくれれば良いんだけど...：(This morning we brought with us Madison's brand new Snow White dress to wear at the park but as soon as she put it on she wanted to take it off and seeing so many other pretty princesses didn't inspire her much... BUT the 5 minutes that she had the dress on she looked absolutely adorable and other people even told us so...:-) So you just wait, we will get the picture to you soon! But first this is her trying to take the dress off on her own...:-(
お昼頃にディズニランドを後にして家に帰った後３人揃って２時間ぐらい爆睡そしてその後とっても休みが取れた気がしたので再びディズニーランドに戻って久しぶりの夜間のパークを楽しむ予定でいたんだけど、予想以上にとっても混雑していたのでがっかり...でもこんな可愛いプリンセスティアラを買ってあげる事ができました。So we left the park around noon and went home for a family nap then we decided to come back for a night time at DL! It was soooo busy that we probably won't do that again but we got to take this super cute picture of her wearing her new princess tiara:-) While Madison doesn't appreciate her princess dresses yet, she did enjoy her tiara...
がいこつすがたのグーフィー...ミッキーも何かいつもと違うものを着ていたんだけど写真を撮り忘れました、ごめん！Goofy the skeleton... We also saw Mickey in a costume but didn't take a picture, sorry!
日曜日は毎年一回行われるロングビーチマラソンの日...私達の建物の目の前を通って行くので窓から見る事が出来ます...今年はブライアンが友達と一緒に走る事になっていたので、通り過ぎるのを見て応援した後教会に行く予定でいたんだけど...Sunday was Long Beach Marathon Day...runners have one mile to go when they hit our building so it is exciting...this year we were able to cheer on Brian and his friend before attempting to head to the church building.
ブライアンを待っているマディソン...
Madison waiting for Brian...
Madison waiting for Brian...
まだ待っている...
Still Waiting...
そろそろ近い時にブライアンが私のケータイにメールを送ってくれたので見つける事が出来ました...
Brian was actually just "pacing" his friend to help him break 2 hours in the half-marathon...he texted us when he was approaching so we could be ready...here they go...
この後駐車場から出発したのはいいんだけど、いつも左に曲がる所で曲がれず、そのまままっすぐ行ったのは良いんだけど結局マラソン者達が多すぎて流れが切れず、左折不可能...諦めてそこにあった駐車場に車を止めて、家に向かって歩いて帰る事になってしまいました...
I say attempted because while we were able to take a right out of our building, a mile down the road they would let us go straight no more and the wave after wave of runners would not allow anyone to go left, so after making a call to have my Bible Class covered (just started teaching the teens last week) and the Lord's Supper covered we were luckily able to park and walk home...
ただ横に並んで歩いているので、走っている人達の応援をしているマディソン...
So we took our lemons and made lemonade as Madison enjoyed cheering on the runners as we walked home... She is saying "Go Runners!!"
どこにも行けなくなった車用の特別無料の駐車場へ私達のハイランダーを置き去りに...
Here is our vehicle stuck at the Belmont Shore parking lot which offered free parking for other stranded motorists...
２キロ近くを歩くじゅんびをしているマディソン...
Madison preparing for the walk...
ボーナス写真とビデオ：学校で作った作品４番...番号がとっても上手に数えれる様になりました...英語では１から１９ぐらいまで言える様に...日本語ではまだまだ...この日日本語で１から１０まで数えると、マディソンはイチじゃなくてワンだよって...Madison preparing for the walk...
Bonus Pics and Videos: Madison showing off more of her school work(#4)...she is so good with her numbers now...we are able to count all the way up to 19 with a little trouble in the teens...the Japanese is still a work in progress...tonight I counted in Japanese and she said, no not ichi...one, we have a lot of work to do!
毎週火曜日は私がマディソンを迎えに行くんだけどこの日内緒でビデオを撮ってみる事に...A Sneak Peek at Pick-Up Time...this was Mommy's Tuesday to pick-up...
