Over 3,000 people, 2 train rides, 2 ferry boat rides, more smells than I care to share, drunk people, fireworks, and frustration out the roof..... we made it to and from the Miyajima festival. It was one of those "check in the box" festivals, nothing that I would ever fight that crowd for again, but glad I got to say I went. The horrid smell of body odor, sweat, bad breath, and urine was overwhelming. Japanese, NOT ALL, but MOST, smell TERRIBLE. Grant it they work LONG hours and are away from home more than they are at home but DAMN!!!! LOL Anyhow, the kids enjoyed the fireworks and all the yummy food plus they were able to get snow cones which in a child's eyes, MAKES IT ALL BETTER!!! LOL The crowds were terrible, Japanese people are really aggressive when they are trying to get from point a to point b, and it's exhausting trying to fight a crowd like that. Overall though it was a great day for the Jones' at Miyajima. <3
Today did mark a very sad but sweet day though, Bricen went up another size in diapers/pull-ups, and we are debating on potty training with him. He's ears are still doing great, and his last 4 baby teeth are breaking the skin and should be through within the week. Lots going on in our lives, as usual, and lots of growing up and time passing to quickly to keep up with, but we are taking each moment as God gives them to us and just cherishing them! Goodnight <3
