Blueberry Picking
Morioka – Koiwai Farm, Castle Ruins, Zoo
On the way to Morioka, we went to Koiwai Farm, one of Japan’s oldest and most famous dairy farms. It’s a huge farm filled with tons of activities and fresh ice cream and milk.
One of the things we did in Morioka was to see castle ruins. Unfortunately there really wasn’t much left to see.
We took Forrest to the zoo!
At our amazing onset hotel, they had nightly performances. This one was about the famous festival that takes place in Morioka every year. They loved playing with Forrest.
Forrest Took His First Step
Mom came to Japan for Forrest’s first birthday and was able to stay for a while. During her time, she spent a lot of time working with Forrest to help him learn to walk. After a short time with his dadimaa, he picked it up! This video was the third take, and to be honest, I didn’t expect to actually capture his first step!

Forrest’s First Easter
Forrest’s First Birthday
For Forrest’s first birthday, Leanne planned an amazing “forest” themed birthday! She home-made a cake shaped like a log with wood bark and everything, topped with woodland animals. We invited all the neighborhood kids, made a lot of food, and set up a huge bounce house!
After the party (and a nap), Forrest opened all his gifts.

Chiang Rai – White Temple
Our hotel in Chiang Rai was so fun, with a really beautiful outdoor display for the season.
Today we went to the White Temple, which like the Blue Temple has intricate and ornate design, with the exception that nearly everything here is all white.
Outside the White Temple were some neat things to explore, including a walk through cave.
