This free day my sweet sisters planned a sister/family day out together for my upcoming birthday since they wouldn't be free on that day. It was loads of fun and FULL of surprises! Here is how the day went....

I went over to Mika's Place and we saw a really girly girly film....just by default. Drifted off to sleep while talking...woke up had coffee, pancakes with ice-cream etc...and left the house to go Bowling....ehe, which I found out that I wasn't so bad at, twards the end of the day...ahahah!

Here we are!

Grumpy Mare not so happy with her results

This went on for about 3 hours...but we had ice-cream break!

Then we went to Makuhari to meet up with my brothers and to my surprise Gene too!
We ate at a plce called Tony Roma's. Good stuff! I recomend it!

At first I was determined to take a photo of everything we would order, but then I got carried away with eating once we started...I just barely took a photo of the steak before I put the last piece into my mouth. :P
The drinks were too cool and the frozen cocktails were gorgeously huge!

About half way through our meal firewokrs went off form the Messe Stadium perfect timming! Cool eh!?

They call these the appetizers. I love American sizes!

I have taseted good salads in my lifetime...but this was the BEST yet!

The ribs and steak...whats left of it...

Then out came the surprise cake and funny birthday song sung by all the staff there. The guy who was leading the song was Indian and I could understand the Japanese ppls following along better than him...was great fun tho'.

Thanks guys! That was so cool and so fun! Way more than I could ever ask for.
You guys are the greatest! It's definately a brithday to remember.

We drove down to the HCS for their summer festival that they host every year. GBT it's probably TONZ of work! And they let everyone stay the night etc...But regardless they continue to do it year after year, and that's cool cuz it was fun.

Here we are happy to be out of the car and on the beautiful beach.

The brave ones went swimming(see the little ppls on top of the rock)
J/K that wasn't us :P

Felt like I was in Italy all over again...I wish!

There were plenty of exciting moments, like misplacing our car keys only to find them in our BBQ fire like we were all joking about etc...but in the end the Lord did lot's of miracles for us and we had a fruitful trip I think.

Last but not least the marshin...not so mellow dance.

This cute thing took 2 days off from work to come and visit us during our vacation. Tweet eh!?
We had fun. She came over and my cam went to work right away (as soon as I opened it that is) and so I'll show you what happened.

We watched Ice age 3 and had some drinks.

Then we went out to get some food for our BBQ we had n our back yard

Here they are in the Genkan.
Here we are outside

And here is our driver

Gene cooking...he was very proud of the meat since he was the one who marinated it all by himself!

Stuffing our face

Happy/full ppls
