Bowling, Beer, Bazaar, and Badgers Oh MY!

Okay! No joke Dave and I have had a crazy weekend! 

Saturday we went to buy our airline tickets from Misawa to Tokyo.  Then we went bowling, and I didn't do half bad.  But if Loraine is reading this half bad for me means breaking one hundred and not falling on my butt. 

 

 

Then on the way home we stopped at the class six to get a bottle of wine, and they had Labatt Blue!!  Dave's favorite beer!  Our entire assignment they haven't carried any Canadian beer and now they got Labatt in!  It is wonderful. 

                                                         

                                Sunday we went to the Big Far East Bazaar.  Its huge, held in an old airplane hanger FULL of vendors.  We finally picked out a sword, and we got a few other things.  I think we have bought almost all of the Japanese Mementos that we would like.  I still need to find a doll and maybe a kimono too.

 

And then on the way home from the bazaar, we saw a flippin' badger on the side of the road.(ALIVE!)  ONBASE!  I have never seen any animals other than crows and harrier hawks onbase.  Never a squirrel or anything.  So it was a little shocking and a wee bit frightening to see a badger.  It was seriously 20 yards away from the main running path onbase.  Not that I'm a runner, but you know, like if someone were running at night they could get attacked or something.  Probably not but it could happen!

This was all very exciting to us since we have spent the last 7 weeks talking about what goes into baby and what comes out of baby and little else. WHEW!  

Oh and a couple other things, on our way back to base today I saw the tulips and daffodils are up about 6 inches already!  SPRING IS HERE!   So sorry for all you in Michigan shoveling still. 

Also I forgot to mention that on March 21st we went to our WIC appointment and they weighed Nate and he weighed 9 pounds 9 ounces.  That was over a week ago, I bet he is 10 pound by now!
