Fuji -san on a clear day (today!!)

Our FIRST photo of Mount Fuji on a clear day!!! We have seen it lately from Tokyo with the snow cap and thought...if it's good weather this weekend, we're going! After a rather short night with both girls waking at different times last night, I had a slight headache and didn't feel up to it. But then on second thoughts I said "Come, let's go!". Whether you're at home or out and about, you've got to keep up with kids and make it fun for them. And boy, I'm glad that I've got kids to give me a kick in the butt to get out sometimes! It was a GREAT day!!!  Wooohooo!!!

After about 1hr of full on entertaining in the car to keep boredom tears away, this happened 2 minutes before arrival.

Isn't she beautiful?

Pappa hopped out to go scope it out and find us a nice pathway to walk with good views

While the kids napped we just enjoyed the views and took lots of photos

Erm, our camera is a tad smaller. There were lots of super big camera guys around today!

The feet of Fuji

Going up, up, up....

Getting it in perspective. It's big.

Little Evie waking up 10minutes after arrival. A cat nap.

And then after about another 20minutes, Josephine woke up. We dressed them to the hilt and off we went!

Josephine found the head of a snowman lying a few meters away

She replaced it. And they had some fun with snowballs and the snowman

Such a cute hat! Her Christmas present from Gwan and Gwamps last year. From Scotland!

Pappa snowballing the unsuspecting Josephine - who never hesitated to snowball us back.

Evie giving lots of kisses lately! Hmmm!

Later on...as we were leaving

Heading back to Tokyo....all in a day's work xxxx
