Summer Vacation Pics: The iPhone Edition

So, I have given up trying to get all the summer vacation photos onto one blog post. There's just too many and it's too time consuming! Instead I will do the photos in installments. My iPhone got used for some pictures while we were away. Too bad I took way more pictures on my mom's iPhone than on my own! I guess it's alright though, I get to see Touma everyday and this way she has a whole bunch she can look at and remember the fun vacation!

The vacation was actually really nice. There were some bumpy moments when I was just DONE with being away from home and being around family non-stop (the problem with not actually going home to Fairbanks!). Other than that, we all had a pretty good time.


 And now for the pictures...



Touma taking a kitchen sink bath... as you can see, he loved it!!
Touma had never taken a bath in a massive American bathtub (ours in Japan are really quite different). So instead of having him do that right away, I decided to try the kitchen sink first. Well, since he loved it so much, I didn't bother with the bathtub and just continued to bathe him in the sink the whole time we were in Colorado. It worked out great!
Touma with Grandma on his first full day in Colorado!
My mom and dad had so much fun with Touma and I had extra arms to hold him. Win-win!!

Touma and Great-Grandma!
One main reason for our trip was to see my grandparents that live in Denver. I think my dad's camera has the picture of Touma and grandpa... :-(

Touma falls asleep

 Touma almost never falls asleep while being held (without me trying to get him to sleep), this time he was so tuckered out from the flight over and time change that he just stopped going.

Baby wearing grandpa!
My dad really liked wearing Touma in this carrier. His weight was distributed nicely and he wasn't able to try to escape with all of his wiggling!

I'm gonna get you!

And so the crawling begins...
Grandpa and the sprinkler
 My dad loved sticking Touma's feet in the sprinklers... Touma didn't seem to mind either!

Touma and Uncle Brendan
Brendan did good letting Touma sleep on his shoulder the morning we left. It allowed me to get the last bit of packing done before heading off to the airport.

These are just a very small sampler of the pictures we took. As soon as I get more time I'll post some of the others!
