Austin

Last weekend to headed to Austin Texas to take a train ride and see the city with our friends: Takaharu, Tomoko and Hatz. We love them! We met them in Michigan while Takaharu was doing a one year law program. We are lucky because they are currently in Houston until July and they will be heading to New York for a couple of years. Jack and Hatz are seriously so cute together. They just love each other! I hope that is a sign of the future....... We joke that their kids would have 6 dimples on their face because both Jack and Hatz have 2 pronounced dimples.

Anyways we sure did a great time with them and miss them terribly! I have to put a side note in here that we missed Emi and Lisa terribly as well. Jack and Hatz are not complete without their little buddy Lisa. Someday we will make it to Japan to visit them:)

We feel so grateful to have such amazing friends!


Train ride. When Hatz spotted Jack in the parking lot she came running as she could toward him. It was too cute. They quickly grabbed hands and were not going to be separated. Jack cried every time we had to get into our car because he wanted Hatz. He would yell "Hatz don't go."





Have you ever seen a cuter girl?

The Town the Train stops in for lunch.




Jack had a messy day. He hardly ever spills on himself. But he spilled a lot water twice on himself so he ended up in Hatz extra pants. I heard a lady walk by us say, "oh, he is a boy..." Poor Jack!


They did a gun show for us. Not the best picture (all I had to represent it...). The other pics did not turn out.



Capital. We had a picnic (enjoying BBQ of course..) at the capital. It is so beautiful. Jack and Hatz enjoyed running around chasing squirrels and playing with Toy Story characters. Our friends knew more history about US and Texas then we did, kind of embarrassing..... Texas has been owned by 6 different countries, who would have known.







We went and had ice cream at Amy's delicious!

In the morning we went and checkout of the university campus. Beautiful. Then headed to church with the Kanayama Family, it was this beautiful church built in the 1800 and then went and had yummy Mexican food. Tomoko and Emi made me a scrapbook of all our fun memories in Ann Arbor. It almost made me cry!

Thanks for the side note, Marti. I really miss you all, and wished we were with you on the trip, but it was also great to see you guys and Kanayama family here on your blog. Thanks for sharing, and I'm so glad you love the photobook!
