Let's play a game!

Ready everyone?  Let's play a short game.  I've got three pictures here and I want you to look at each one carefully and tell me (or rather yourself, because I won't be able to hear you) what's going on.  Got it?  Good.  The answers will be listed at the bottom of this post.  Good luck.  Or as they say in Japan . . . actually, I don't know yet how they say it in Japan, but I'm sure it would extremely motivating if I did.

1) Who are these two creatures and what happened to my children!!

2) What are they looking at?

Where in the world are we for this picture?

Give up yet?  All right, as promised here are the answers.

1)  One of the neighbor girls named Lizzie (there's two, but she's the 'older Lizzie') apparently knows how to facepaint.  She mentioned her talent to Katya one day and ever since then Katya has been begging us to let her have Lizzie paint her face.  I wasn't home when this happened, but a trusted source informed me of the following events.  After they had their faces painted, Lyana took this photo BEFORE Alex had a chance to look in the mirror.  As soon as he did so, he promptly requested to have his face washed.

2)  In Japan, General Conference is not broadcasted live.  Rather, the church members schedule it for one week later to watch a recording of it at the church building.  Of course, most people have the internet, so last Sunday, we watched it as a family at home.  We each wore our Sunday best.  Alex's Sunday best was a policeman costume.  And Alex is not asleep.

3) Location: Miss Veedol Beach.  Not so good for swimming, but neat place for beachcombing and checking out the Pacific Ocean.  A bit windy too.  Lot's of washed-up jellyfish blobs as well.  They really do look like jelly.

That's all for this post.
