Mac in Japan

As per Margo's request, here is a Japan Cool about how to type in Japanese. I'll try to do another one in the next few days about something called nagashi soumen, but first things first.

First I have to make sure I have the right languages checked and loaded in my system preferences.



Then when I want to type in Japanese I choose one of my Japanese character palettes



Then I use my keyboard



and phonetically(a=a) type in a sentence. If there is a chinese character I type in the pronounciation and then the computer gives me a choice of which to pick.

So for example Clark was talking in his sleep and said

子供の恐竜が良い！

..and this is how I picked the kanji for dinosaur.



That is how I type in Japanese!

Dancing Dinosaurs

We were watching a slide show and listening to the music from Toy Story, when Edamame just busts out with a dinosaur dance show at the dinosaur 'nuseum'.

Enjoy!

post jet lag

I found this yesterday. Guess we still weren't quite over jet lag. As you can also tell, it's too hot for clothes

Vacation photo outtakes

We have a TON of photos from our vacation. I need to go through them and split them into a few different posts. The vast amount of pictures does give us a few outtakes too. Here are some with the funniest faces.

Andi and BK, had fun on this swing




We tried to take some pictures with the grandparents



We had some issues with food







We were fortunate enough to go camping, unfortunately it poured. We still would like to go again.





We also went on different adventures to the bouncy place, the airplane museum, and grandma's house!




We were there for the 4th of July too!




Plus we were lucky enough to go to a birthday party and do face painting




Enjoy the silliness!

Power-what?!?!?

We saw this on the highway. It just doesn't seem right, I know
whoever thought of it has no idea how wrong it is, but wow.

It's an....alien!!!

I was hoping to find out the sex of our Christmas surprise, but no beans. The Dr. did give us a picture of the baby looking like an ALIEN! Now, I'm sure she has no idea of my weird fear of aliens, but I always hate these pictures. I'll let you know when we find out. I will also try to catch up on vacation pictures, but first de-jetlagging, unpacking, and staying cool in the 98 degree heat with 60% humidity. Oh the joys!
