So Jaden is currently on her second week of visiting cousins and spending quality time with her grandpa Lynn in Okinawa, Japan. We definitely missed her the first week she was gone but what we did have going for us was Miriam and Lexee visiting--which kept us on-the-go and plenty busy. Contrarily, this week has slowed to a crawl for all of us back home. In fact, the other night I couldn't easily find Ty when getting ready for bed. Finally, I found him in Jaden's bed, face buried in her pillow, crying. That night he slept in her bed. We miss you terribly Jady Lady!
Here are a couple of pics that I've copied from my sister in-law's blog to give you an idea of what she's been up to. I'm sure she has barely enough time or energy to think of us back here in the states!
Yes, this really is Jaden holding a python! We went to a place called Okinawa World that is kind of like a museum/park where you can learn about Okinawan culture. She wasn't sure at first that she wanted to hold the snake, but after holding it with her cousins, she decided to go solo.
The other really cool thing at this bath house was the "Doctor Fish." They are little fish that like to eat the dead skin cells off people's feet. If you put your feet in the water the fish come and nibble on your skin. It tickles! Jaden was really hesitant, and she only dipped her feet in for a second or two.
Savannah and Jaden in front of a tree full of "prayers." When people receive a bad fortune from a Shinto Shrine they tie it on to a tree in hopes that the fortune won't come true.

I seriously had to double take on the python! That is freaky! You are so brave Jaden.
