Our travels are finally coming to an end and reality is about to kick in. We are currently in California visiting my parents and are getting ready to drive back to Utah this afternoon. We had a really nice vacation here. My mom and dad took care of Sophia and Grace all week while Lane and I just sat back and relaxed. It was very nice. Here are some pictures highlighting our journey back to America.

Our Last outing in Tokyo with the Griffins. We went to Ueno park in Tokyo on the hottest day of the year. The kids were so miserable by the time we took this photo.

On one of our last days in Japan I was able to order my two favorite Japanese dishes in the same meal. Curry and Soba noodles. MMM so good. This picture is for Dave really.

And of coarse we couldn't leave Japan with out going to Tokyo Disneyland one more time.

We finally got to meet mickey mouse this time around. The girls were so excited.

After leaving Japan we went directly to Hawaii. Here are Grace and Sophia with plumeria flowers in their hair at the United States most southern bakery on the big Island of Hawaii.

We got to go see the live Lava flow from Mauna Loa volcano. Although we couldn't see the red Lava flow it was neat to know that we were so close to it.

After a few days of the big Island we went back to Oahu and when we checked into our hotel the girls got Lei'd. They loved the flower lei. They did their own version of the hula dance for us.

This became our favorite beach on Oahu. The beach was empty and the water was so warm. Much better the Waikiki beach I think.

At the beginning of our scary flight to Minnesota.

Blue berry picking in Canada. Sophia would put one in her bucket and then eat one. She loves blueberries.

Grace was wrapped up in Aunt Jenny's shirt for bug protection.

Dave, Kenny, Katesy, and Grace swimming in the cold Moose lake.

Everyone who went to Canada this year.
