Sunday August 3, 2008 Shinzen 2008 Day 7 Another Free Day

Decided to let Hiroya sleep in as he seemed to be getting a little worn out from the non stop activities during the week.
If Shinzen was truly meant to show what a typical JA family does, he did not get the real feel for our family as it was not in the midst of baseball or basketball season.

So Timmy and Hiroya ended up goofing around with each other and Thomas












The highlight of his day was going to get some gum for his sister Yukimi to take home to Japan. We did not find the gum, Timmy wanted to get but ended up with giving him Bubble yum to bring home and some trident. Hiroya did not seem like he wanted to go sightseeing.









Timmy and him then had a typical lunch for Timmy, instant ramen noodles, they both agreed that Sapporo Ichi Ban Chicken was the best.






Tonight was the farewell Matsuri Reception to be hosted at the JCCCNC Gym. We once again purchased Chicken Wings and for Kara, Singapore Chow mein. The singapore chow mein was a big hit at the last potluck, so we ordered it again.















Listening to the speeches from the various speakers
