So I Lied...

My mom sent me about 15 more pictures from their time here, so I'm going to go ahead and post some of them because they are so good! Sorry for the overload of Birt Family trip pictures, but we just had so much fun! So if anyone else wants to come, look how much fun we could have! :)

Sterling and I at the bus station.

Sorry this picture is blurry, we had the waitress take it. This is when we ate "Udon" which is a main meal here in Japan. It is a noodle soup and you can put fried vegetables/shrimp in it. We sat in the traditional Japanese way on tatami mats.

When we were at the aquarium in Nagoya Sterling wanted his picture by this Mickey Mouse. They were actually advertising for English Classes that Disney offers.

The three guys were watching the dolphins...or at least Sterling was watching the dolphins, the other two were just there!

Sterling was watching a diver clean out the tank.

We went to Outback on our last night together. When we saw this sign, Sterling got so excited and immediately started mooing. Everyone that was sitting out there just started laughing and thought it was really cute.

We all went to visit Sterling's school together because it is really important in this culture to have the grandparent's approval. So the teachers at his school were very nice to my parents and really wanted them to see all that Sterling does while he's there.

This is our backyard fence-- Sterling copying my dad as best as he can.

This was on one of our train rides.

This was at the zoo- we were actually sitting on a bunny rabbit statue, but you can't really tell :)

This was at the grocery store. Sterling got tired of riding, so Kara tried to fit...obviously that didn't work out!
