It's A Clark's Life

The First Fish

As many of you may be noticing, we're catching up on our blogging a bit now that we're in Japan.  Here is one more that is actually a month or so old, but still pretty fun to us. 

When we were home, we went over to Uncle Roy and Aunt Amanda's house to see the kids, barbecue a bit, and do a little fishing.  Well, it's virtually impossible to not catch a blue gill or two there, so Dylan managed to land his first fish.  He thought it was cool for about five minutes and then went back to playing with his cousins.

Smore Summer Please

Well, summer has drawn to a close and we have returned to Tokyo.  We did, however, have a great summer and close it down in style with some smores.  Here are some pictures from our last night.
 

Go Fly A Kite

Everyday brings a beautiful breeze, so we had to get a couple kites.

The Hot Dog Suit

The water was a bit chilly last week, so we broke out the wet suit which is not a big hit with the little guy.  This means we needed link the suit to something he really likes...and looks like.  Hence, the Hot Dog Suit.

Missing Daddy.

Dylan has been expressing lately how much he is missing Daddy and Max.  I heard him in the morning before he got out of bed singing the "Daddy and Dylan" song. Next I heard him say, "I want to go back to Japanese."  Later that day, we saw doggies on the beach and he told me he misses, "Maximussy Baby Poochy Poochy"  (his endearing term for our dog, Max).  Then asked me, "Where is Daddy's van?"  (Daddy drives a mini-van in Japan)  It's heart wrenching to hear him miss daddy and Max so much but he will be so excited to have Daddy back in the US and go for lots of boats rides!
