Waking up pretty early
Hair in the way as usual
Jadynn is very comfortable
without her thick jacket
She wants to press the button
Hmmm.. what is my brother doing?
Which door will open?
Oh, there it is!
She’s ready for breakfast!
Just downstairs so no need to bundle up so fast
We are going for some yummy buffet breakfast again
Jadynn cannot wait
Best part of our hotel is their breakfast buffet, huge variety of food. and look at all these different water you can choose from. 梗有一樽啱你飲
Aiden gives his thumbs of approval
So much to choose from
The shrimp was the best!
can try so many different things
Jadynn really enjoyed the corn
but still wouldn’t use a spoon
But at least Mommy didn’t have to starve since she didn’t have to feed Jadynn
Even crab soup!
Total different feel from the buffet in Taiwan
Nice plates with sections already so you don’t mix your flavors up
Curry
But today Jadynn did not want to sit still after she was done with food
She was driving Mommy nuts
Good thing she is very cute!
Look at that face and the steam dissipates
Why can she get up so easily?
Their seats don’t have anything to stop them from getting up
detox juice station
Jadynn didn’t have any of those but her and Aiden ate lots of lychee
a little fun before we head out
don’t poke Daddy’s eyes!
Sapporo Station, we are taking JR to Otaru for a day trip.
Aiden is very excited
Jadynn doesn’t know what’s going on
4C only.
hang onto Mommy tightly
Or maybe Mommy should hang onto Jadynn tightly
Why?
Because she moves without prior notification
And in whatever direction she so pleases
Must be because she has an older brother.
So reckless!
Daddy is enjoying the scenery
Looks so peaceful and serene
But inside the train is another story
you got a tired Mom
A super energetic boy
A tired toddler
Who doesn’t want to sleep
That’s looking for trouble
Passing by the ocean
Beautiful
Reminder: that’s outside the train
But where the Ma Family is at….
We’ve got Drama King
Sleepy baby
He can get a little loud
Lucky this time she slept through it
Time to take bus
Jadynn is still sleeping
Easier for Amy to sit at the back
But the boys didn’t want to
Aiden didn’t wanna be in the pics….
YET!
He loves taking silly pics
which reminds me.. he hasn’t done silly selfies with Mommy in a long time
Looks like Amy can’t sit still
Nor can Aiden
Only Daddy and Jadynn are good passengers haha
There’re so many places we can explore. Definitely coming back some time.
good rest for Jadynn before we get to the aquarium
Too beautiful
But oh so cold
Don’t let this part fool you, we had to go up more steps… steps covered in lots of snow.. kinda scary
Good thing Jadynn wasn’t awake.. she would move too much
I kept fearing I would topple backwards
Nice stroller for us to use
He doesn’t feel like he’s the many fish in the sea
Look down below!
Aquarium cost more than the zoo
It would be worth it if I could eat the crab!
it was small but still a lot to see
sharks
mean looking sharks
they look comfy
closer view
what do you see?
lots going on here
not your every day typical fish
very focused fish
porcupine of the sea
ok Mommy made that up on the fly
Jadynn copying Aiden?
Colorful
simple
interesting mix
sea eel
Super chilly especially with the winds
We were going to use the stroller but it proved to be more of a hassle
There is an escalator but only for going up
But at least going down wasn’t too bad
Penguins are having fun
We will be watching a show here later
And they are not a boring bunch
They went in the water for some fun
Here are the seals
They are not friendly
Aiden did not dare feed them
Is someone lost?
It’s time for the show
Cold outside must bundle up
and grab a good seat
Walrus time
of course we cannot understand what they are saying
Aiden begged Daddy to buy the fish
Tough to keep Jadynn occupied
Aiden wanted to move around too
Can’t reach the top
So this is as close as she gets to emulating her brother
While AIden takes a seat on Mommy’s lap
while she is doing the asian squat
Very tiring.. and had to halt that when the show started
Cute show
so obedient
not like the penguins
Stealing food!
They are waiting to steal from the penguins
Looks like an awesome show
Mom couldn’t watch as weather did not permit
Jadynn and Amy had to hide under a rooftop where the benches for eating is at
As it began to drizzle
Aiden really wanted to watch
So we split up so he can enjoy
Look at these cute little fishies
One of the reasons Daddy chose to come here
Super cute
jelly fish
This poor fish died from giving birth
too traumatic…..
kids need a breather after that!
or maybe it’s the parents that need the rest
the kids are enjoying their play time
Jadynn loved putting away the little plastic balls
And some ppl even came over to look at her
that was kinda “creepy”
or you might think this pic is creepier?
7.5 years married
not completely old wife and old husband yet!
but the kids sure do add to the aging process!
Jadynn wanted to put all the balls away and Aiden threw it all out of the basket.. aiya ya ya
But got a show to go to
Unfortunately Jadynn will not sit still
Good show nonetheless
Great entertainers!
Someone ripped off her little bow
and won’t keep her shoe on
Dolphins
We didn’t sit in the wet zone
high jump
2 high jumpers
time to eat now that the show is over
waiting for the bus out in the cold
yum yum
she wants it all
and she won’t let Mama pull that bread away
Time to head back to civilization
and head out to eat
bus ride was good time to rest
Jadynn wants more food?
Aiden enjoying the ride
probably wishing he can play in the snow
Bus used the chain
hard earned money to pull that thing!
I didn’t even remember the roadway was dirty until looking at these pictures
Shh.. they are reading at the library
had to bring her favorite book to keep her quiet
We bought like 7 or 8 books, but she only wants to read 2 books over and over again
Scallops look delicious
so does this chirashi bowl
what else?
Waiting for the food now
someone is playing with the “neighbor”
and someone is playing with the phone
yummy dish for Mommy
sushi for Daddy
all for Aiden!!!1
thumbs up but he couldn’t finish it all himself
someone is stuffing herself with bread again
Daddy learned to post pics like this from his friend Benny
totally enjoying herself
don’t forget to take the book
now she wants her daddy to read to her
totally satisfied
and having fun now that she is done eating
love her expressions!
even when she tries to hide
luckily the restaurant was relatively empty
cuz she was totally not sitting still
cute decoration
sight seeing time
mostly Daddy did
as we were just too slow for him
Looks like a lonely road
Quiet
Back in civilization?
nothing to buy
Aiden loves the clear umbrella
many clear umbrellas sold
as it gets darker, more ppl show up
roads get slipper too
and it gets colder
Aiden is tired of roaming around
many complaints
nothing that ice cream cannot make better
Or pastries can’t make better
checking out what he wants to get for all of us to share
creamy ice cream
anything look appealing to you?
Limited pretzel shoe
Finally picked out the desserts
Aiden enjoyed them the most
back to get more desserts
but this time, ice cream… interesting name
long lines and few tables here
works out when you go in a group
everyone but Galen got to wait for the dessert to come to us
no need for us to lift a finger!
After Taiwan, this is another restaurant we have experienced superior service from.
Our waitress brought out two cushions and a blanket for Jadynn to sleep.
But its so hot inside, we did not put the blanket on her.
Still alive gah.
S8 size crab leg
