                                        Saturday, May 14, 2011. Osaka - Tsutenkaku, Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. We took the bullet train (shinkansen) from Tokyo to Osaka.

                                        Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Melissa, Alisha, and Katrina rented bikes and rode along the waterfront, while Mom , Grandma and I wandered around. We stopped at a Gaki Yaki stand and had delicious grilled oysters. Then we walked down towards the shrine. We got lucky - there was a whole wedding ceremony going on at the shrine. The monks in the background are all playing instruments, while the monk in orange dances in front of the bride and groom. Tuesday, May 17, 2011.

                                        Saturday, August 22, 2009. Damian's 3rd Birthday Party. For Damians party we hired a local hall and had a construction themed party. All the boys liked the look of the construction site cake. They were all wanting to play with the trucks and crane. We had an excavation game where we buried lots of toys and chocolates in the big sandpit. All the children were given a tool box and hard hat and had to be diggers and dig out the prizes.
