Miyajima Monday

 Japanese schools have Spring Break this week, so Rylee was home from preschool all week.  Monday (March 30) was P-Day for our missionaries and I had offered to take them to Miyajima Island, and they were delighted to get permission to do so.  I drove 4 elders and our 2 sisters out to the ferry and we had a lovely day on the island.  The weather was amazing, sunny and mild and glorious.  It did mean there were a lot more people than I have ever seen there before, but it was fine.

Rylee had a blast.  She hopped, skipped and jumped everywhere.  I do not know where she gets all that energy!  It was a fun day and I practiced my artsy photographer skills and tried to get some good shots of the scenery.  The cherry blossoms are blooming and are gorgeous. The deer never get old, although Rylee nearly lost her skirt to one that was sure it was a tasty treat.

Oh, check out that second to last photo.  The sign Rylee is pointing to says "Deer Poop Ice Cream"!  Seriously!  It is actually chocolate covered rice krispies, but here, you never know for sure!
