Visitors from Japan

We enjoyed our visit with Jeff and Melissa who traveled from Okinawa Japan to visit us. We also had Greg and Anna in from Chicago. We filled the three days we had with a great mini golf outing. Greg had a difficult start-you know what I mean Greg!- but all managed to play very well. Tyler was adorable as a little golfer. He was so serious and wouldn't accept any help. I think he had a few holes where he made par, honest to goodness. Papa Bryant is so proud. We followed up that event with a night out for the siblings. We went to Dave and Busters and had dinner and then played arcade games. Head to head competition has never been so much fun.
The following day everyone came to our house for dinner. We played a rousing game of run-down-also known as pickle. We were joined by Uncle Vic and cousin Eric from Iowa. The impressive play of the night was when Nate slide tackled Uncle Vic. RESPECT YOUR ELDERS, BOY! Hopefully no one was too sore the next day. There is something to be said for those good old backyard games. The next day we all went out on a pontoon boat on Lake Minnetonka. We stopped for a swim and otherwise just motored around the lake. We ended our visit by being served an authentic Japanese meal. I can't believe my brother (with Melissa's help) is a better cook than me. Okay, I believe it. Though I have improved, somewhat. We wish we had had a longer time but maybe someday we can get out to visit them wherever they may be.
