It's funny, how Hisano hasn't changed at all,
But, her boy, Kousei, has grown immensely! It was so hard to believe that he is now 6 feet tall and going on to college. It seems like yesterday when Hisano and I were in college and then she got married and had this little baby boy. What happened?!
It was fun to see our kids getting along and playing games together. Her other kids had grown up so much, too!
We had a great time playing games together with them that Saturday night. Then on Sunday morning we enjoyed going to their church for a special Memorial Day service.
It was an honor that they asked Jay to sing and play the piano.
Frankly, it ended up being quite a miracle that he was able to sing, because on the night when we started heading down to New Mexico, Jay started coming down with an awful cold. But, somehow God gave him a voice and he got through the whole song without coughing, once. Then, we headed back to their house for lunch.
Then, after lunch, Jay relaxed for a while, as the rest of us went to their local zoo. It was really fun to see Penny and their daughter, Seika, connecting as friends. It was fun to watch them trying to feed the camel tree branches.
Penny was having so much fun that she just kept running everywhere we went.
Perhaps the girls had a special bond, knowing that they are both adopted.
But, for some reason, it just seemed that they really got along well, which was so nice to see, because I had forewarned them that sometimes Penny can be extremely shy and have a hard time opening up. Here the girls were approaching a zookeeper, who was explaining to them all about this parrot who likes to eat buttons off of his shirts.
Seika's favorite part of the zoo was the tiger, whom she had seen when he was a newborn cub about 4 years ago, when they first moved to Clovis.
