Ayaka and the Vetters family have been enjoying our time together. On Sunday we went to church where she saw a Catholic Mass, then went to Mozzi‘s Pizza for a traditional Sunday lunch. We introduced Ayaka to dessert pizza, a Greenfield staple.

The Murat Circus was our next endeavor, and Ayaka got to see tigers and elephants and trapeze artists and daredevils. She even got her picture with a clown. We were joined by the Medford family and Yuki. It sure was cold outside!

My son Jesse and his girlfriend Cookie, whose mother is Japanese, met us at one of the local Chinese restaurants and Ayaka taught the kids how to use chop sticks.

We stopped at the grocery store so we could buy fruit for breakfast. It was a long, fun, day. We hated for it to end!

Monday night we will take Ayaka to see the mountains of Greenfield at Montana Mike’s.
