they're here!!!

our friends arrived safe and sound last night (monday night japan time) =)
we drove to the airport (an adventure as we had never done it before), made it without any trouble and were so thrilled to drive them back! they were super tired - didn't sleep at all on the flight here! what troopers. but i am pretty sure that made it work out for them in the end to get a good nights sleep last night and feel semi-rested today! they felt pretty good all day today and dont seem to have a lot of jetlag, which is such answer to prayer! =)
here are the faithful travelers:


i woke them up this morning in hopes to keep everyone on a good schedule, and we went out to the ginza to explore. and i showed them one of our favorite video games - we call it "drum drum" but i don't think thats the actual name of it... haha. =)


ben has duty today, so we didn't get to see him much =( but we got to take him dinner and visit for a bit so they could see the ship, and him! here we are! all in japan - crazy!


more adventures and pictures to come.... =D we're so glad they are here!
