Trains, Cars, and Airplanes

Typhoon Guhcol turned out to not be so bad.  We were able to get out of Naha before the 3pm no fly mandate and got to Tokyo on time with little turbulence (as the matter of fact, it was the smoothest of all three legs).  We spent more time in line at the Naha airport than we've ever experienced.  This meant we essentially didn't get any meal until we got to Portland, as each layover of our flight was spent running to our next flight.  It made it feel quicker, but the airplane food was not very satisfying.  Both girls did great on the plane, with Reina by far getting the most sleep.  Jet lag seemed reasonable this year.  Reina adjusted much quicklier.  Kaiya is sleeping, but just waking a bit more frequently than I care for, but at least she is sleeping for the most part.








Bath's together!

Reading before bed.

Playing with Jack's new remote car.






We've been staying our first week with the Guifarro's. Therefore, the princesses and dresses are away, and the trains and cars are in full force.  Reina was actually pretty excited about playing with Jack's train set and all of them (Jack, Reina, Diego and Kaiya) have been playing together quite well.  We've been enjoying some of the best Honduran food (actually, just food in general) thanks to Liliana (and Celeo) since we've been here and have continued our tradition of smores.  This year we stepped it up with a proper fire pit and invited the "older" kids to enjoy it too. 

On Sunday we'll drive to SeaTac to pick up Grandpa Jeff, a car, and then drive to Aunt Debbie's for the week. I'm taking an AP Bio class in Bellevue and we'll get to spend the week with Chris' family before heading back up to Bham to stay with the Fuller's (Syd's family).
