Hirosaki Castle in the Fall







Love my 3 boys.

Chase enjoying his ice cream.
Bryce deciding he would like some too, but brother is not sharing.

I just love these Japanese maple trees, just can't get enough of them.


So fun being able to show my mom the cool Hirosaki castle and grounds.
Cute Grammy and Bryce.
"Where are you, Grammy."




Playtime


Hirosaki Chrysanthemum Festival




Aomori apples are the best. I am sure going to miss our apples, and the apple lady.





This festival had some of the biggest and coolest Chrysanthemums I have ever seen. They had so many varieties and the Japanese just keep all their flowers so pristine.


Bryce is getting closer and closer to walking. He is getting good at cruising around on his walker.


Chase and Bryce riding the mini train with Dad. I think I might have another train lover.

Lazy Saturday at Swan Park

Checking out the ducks. Such a sweet picture. We had other plans to hit Hirosaki this past Saturday, but with the exercise going on we weren't allowed to go to far. So hopefully next weekend we will go. But we had a good time relaxing at the park for a few hours.

Chase climbing over the ropes(spider web as he calls it). He learned a ton of new Halloween words this year from all his books.
So hard to get a picture of Chase holding still.
While Chase and dad were playing on the slides, I decided to do my own photo shoot of Bryce since he stays put pretty good. Have to enjoy it while it lasts.




Don't you eat that leaf Bryce. He just laughs.

More Halloween Fun

Trick or treating at Cole's work, the hospital.

Bryce was one of the winner's for best costume.


Finally, actual Halloween night. It seemed like Halloween lasted a couple of weeks here with all the parties and trick or treating. Chase was a pro on Halloween night. He would get his candy, say thank you(mom and dad would remind him) and then he was racing off to the next house.
Chase's buddies Marie and Keaton checking out the skeleton. They are all 3 and all born in the same month.

Impossible to get 3 3 year olds and 3 babies to take a good picture, we tried.
Chase and dad making a mickey mouse design out of clay. This was at Japan day held on base which was held on Halloween weekend.
