This month, my family and I went to Mie Prefecture to spend some time together during their summer vacation (the obon season). It has been so long since we had a family trip together. The eldest daughter of mine staying in Kyoto and I have three others staying with me. Seldom we go out as a whole and it was really a great trip as we did a lot of things together including riding the roller coasters. It was terrifying for me but since it was with the whoe family, I decided to swallow that scary feeling I have. It resulted to hurting my neck and had a hard time driving the next day. We ate a lot of food, my family really eats a LOT!!!! LOL!!!!! What I felt happy about was seeing my kids not having a fight and doing the same thing at the same time. My eldest having the youngest sit on her lap, the four of them playing the DS. And I thought...... they are still kids and will forever be my KIDS!!!! Love you guys eventhough I do scold you a lot. It just shows I care for you so much!!!!!
