Miss Veedol is the name of the first plane that made it across the Pacific. It left from the Shimokura beach in Misawa in 1931. So we have a beach and some street names here in Misawa named after Miss Veedol. 
So we had a fun Saturday at this Science and Aviation Museum that is about 10 minutes from our house. They had a ton of exhibits, planes, playgrounds, and hands on science stations. Chase even went up with us to the top of this air chamber and they have your free fall a couple of times inside. Chase didn't cry but he was shaking pretty bad. But Chase had fun seeing how fast he could run in one exhibit(6.1 km/hr) and watching himself in slow motion swing a bat. We then hit the Hachinohe Fish Market in the afternoon and picked up some really good tuna steaks that Tig grilled and we got some crab claws to steam for tomorrow. Yum.
This is Chase's latest thing that he has started doing this week. When he doesn't want you to do something he puts both hands in front of his eyes and will hold them their for a couple of minutes. Apparently he didn't want me to get him out of the bathtub, and he doesn't ever want to come in from outside, and doesn't ever want to get his hands and mouth washed after he eats. But he is still the best and we love this little guy to death. And so does everyone else.

Looks like fun getting to know the local history. So Chase thinks if you can't see him he doesn't have to do it. Smart little guy!!! I love that boy!! Sure miss you!

You know that jump thing where they strap you in--well, we can never do it because kids are too small and Robert is too heavy...and we have never taken the kids TOGETHER so that I could try it-haha.
Anyway, we went there on Wednesday morning. Kids absolutely love it! Now they run over 12km/h (sec?):)
