The Princesses: Visiting with Ojichan & Obachan, Part 1

This post is long overdue, so here we go

Little bookworms

Chefs busy at play -If you look closely you will see that Chia firmly believes that all good chefs toss food from their fry pans without catching it again.



Mia & friends. -It's not every day you get to paint a house!


Princess Chia eating an apple the way she likes best

Swinging with Ojichan & Obachan (Amelie was sleeping & missed the whole thing)

Part of the huge, beautiful park we played at

Giddy up horsie!





Taking it all in: Amelie's surprised, Mia's studying, Chia's dreaming


Ready to ride


Excited and a bit dazed

Happy as can be

See her tongue sticking out? That is sheer bliss

The End

The Princesses: We love you!

Doing what sisters do best... being silly!














Sack races -whoohoo!












Look at their faces!










Yummy food with Obachan & Ojichan
















We went out with Obachan & Ojichan and ate so much food. I ate so much icecream and it tasted really good.
