For those of you who have known me for forever you know that i have
lived in the same house my whole life! Its been nice never having
to move to a new place and all that jazz but the only down side is i have never got a chance to move. Most people would say i was lucky but i still have always thought it would be fun! And so i was excited to help my sister move and i have to say we had a BLAST!!!

Obon Festival!
We decided to do a lanter for our Dear frined Terry Rice! It was an awsome experience and im so glad i was able to share it with my sister and nephew!
Obon (お盆, Obon) or just Bon (盆, Bon) is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit andclean their ancestors' graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. Also called the Feast of Lanterns, it has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon-Odori.

Randomness
Mt. Fuji!!!!
Cheese it!
This guy is branding the hicking stick.
Just a random room in the mountain. And i know the japaniesse are small but that would be a tight squeese.
Its Crazy cause your pretty much climbing in clouds!
You've got to be careful cause if not you could slip and get blown of a cliff.
Gator Cruise!!!
So i got to go on yet another gator cruise with my awesome bro in-law emilio! It was alot of fun! I'm so glad i got the opportunity to go. It gave me a chance to see what life is really like on the ship. And i can honestly say it is not for me. But after going i now appreciate him much more. I had no clue how much work he really does. I was so glad to get to share that experience with my awesome brother in-law!!! And I'm so grateful that him and all the others on the ship for doing what they do in order to keep our country safe!!! THANKS to everyone in the military for all the hard work you do!!!
This is the HUGE ship i got to spend 3 whole days on!!!
So the first pic is a pic of the morgue. There was seriously one on the ship. Can you say GROSS!!!
That's me holding the anchor from falling. But it was actually kinda funny cause i kinda got in trouble when i was there cause i guess your not supposed to step over the anchor and i didn't know that so i did and i had about ten people yell not to after i did. But i guess its for safety reasons cause if the line was to break and you were standing over it you'd be dead.
I got to shoot of the ciwis gun that my brother in-law works on. But not just once twice!!! And later the same day we just got to play around with the joy stick. I was tracking this really fast bird. It was pretty intense.
Emilio hard at work!
Now one of the best things is the Gorgeous view!!! And I'm not just talking about me. lol!
