Previously on Life in Japan
Was that a long trip or what? That was forever long.
Are you guys ready for the big trip, huh?
So tomorrow we're starting our big journey across the States.
We're going to do down to Tennessee, we'll have a family reunion for a week
Did we find it? Is there no one here?
After a super long day, we're finally ready to check in and go to bed
[Life in Japan Theme Song]
We drove all day yesterday until 1:30 in the morning and here's my view today.
Well, we are on vacation in America. We came over the girls' summer vacation.
To be with family that we haven't seen for years, to be with friends.
Well, welcome to our cabin for a couple of days. It is massive!
Here with my sisters Amy and Hannah and we're enjoying the view.
Oh my goodness, the Smoky Mountains.
We’re near Pigeon Forge Tennessee with my Dad’s side of the family for a big family reunion.
My Mom just turned 70, so we’re celebrating extra big this year.
Ohhh, it's pool time!
Are you excited? Is it cold? Is it warm?
No! No?!
Are you putting on your float Sarah? Yay.
Alright Sarah.
You're on grandma duty here? Yep, I'm here to watch them.
Ok Eli, ok look. 1-2-3. Ok everybody.
Silly picture.
You guys all ready for some some bumper boats? Yes? Yes? Yes?
Are you guys ready for some bumper boats? Yes? Alright.
Oh my goodness, they can squirt each other. Oh, look out!
Oh, there goes Anna! Go Anna.
Sarah's going to go on the horses. Bye!
Uncle Aaron, what are you doing way out there?
Uncle Jed is way too dry.
Get her, get her, get her!
Joshua looks pretty soaked.
Dude! How was it? You're all wet!
Look at that. Oh my goodness.
That's the guy who got me.
Oh Anna, how did it go? Got soaked. Ha, got soaked.
Uncle Jed got his money's worth.
Oh my goodness what did you think guys?
Fun but wet and cold. A boy that I didn't know kept squirting me. His squirt thing went straight.
He must like you. Look how wet I am.
Hi guys!
The bag handoff.
Hello! Bye, bye.
You think Uncle Jed is having fun?
Alright Big J!
Daddy and Big J, let's go, right? Let's go? Oh yeah.

I can't believe they are still spinning.
Here we go dude. Ready? Going down yay!
How was it? Awesome?
How was it? Good.
Go Joshua!
The family's doing a puzzle.
And look at the sunset happening here. I'm going to time lapse it.
What's going on? How's the hot tub?
Daddy, I got warm so can I go jump in the pool and when I get cold come back in this? If I'm still here.
We're burning the midnight oil.
Gonna get it done. You guys are dangerously close.
Aunt Hannah. You finished it. I did. The best part is finishing it. That's right.
Then if you have to take it apart right away, it doesn't matter.
You guys getting one last game in? Putting it away?
Look at the view from here. That is awesome. It's like you're in the clouds.
Packing up. Heading on to the next place, huh guys.
We're going to have fun today Micah? Yes. Oh yeah.
Bye!
Still waving! Still waving.
Still waving. Bye!!!
Now you can't see them anymore. Now we can stop, ok.
We're going to stay in this area just a little bit more.
Enjoy some of the things around here before we're heading to Florida to meet with Ruth and her family which is all getting together
One awesome family reunion after another.
Whoa! This is... Look at this! Oh my goodness!
Which way do we go?
There's so many Joshuas!
Which way?
Oh my! Which way?
Oh man! This is just...!!!
Oh! Here's a way.
What in the world?
Oh my goodness!
A little Pink Floyd to set the mood. I was going to say, you could only have Pink Floyd in here.
Oh my... I'm going to see where the girls are...
I think it's the exit. Let's see. It is! Is it?
You guys did it! We were already waiting for like 2 or 1 minute.
You were?!
It was awesome.
I feel like there were so many mirrors! There were. Did you see the real cool room in there? Yeah.
Yeah, there were like lights under you.
Eli's up for doing it again. We're going to run through one more time.
I say so, lets do it again.
We got ourselves some real life lemonade.
That's where it's at. Oh good!
It's a hot one.
Oh guys, here we go. Coming in.
Oh, and upstairs.
Are there 2 rooms up there?
No, there's only one.
Whoa- look at the pool!
Yes!
Water show. Water show!
1, 2, 3!
They're trying to race and beat Uncle Aaron!
Oh! Sarah is working it, trying to get to the front! Oh!
Wow, what did you make?
A speed boat.
Do you have a boat too?
Show him your boat too. It can float.
It can float? Yeah, boats can float. Boats can float. Yes they can.
Did you see my boat? Nice. And this is my boat. That's your boat. Nice.
Oh my freaking goodness!
Platter 'o pizza.
Whoa guys, who's ready for pizza? Me. Me. Sure, me. Oh my goodness.
I'm hungry. I'm hungry for pizza. You're hungry?
Tonight we are celebrating grandma's birthday.
What we wanted to do for Grandma's birthday was do some things that she did for our birthday's when we were growing up.
And one of those things was make pizzas and have homemade pizzas together.
I like pizza.
There's Pepperoni Ooo
There's also a BBQ Chicken... Ooo
And there is sausage and provolone.
Oh! [Everyone] ohh!
Wow- that seems to be a favorite already.
We'll have some party games...
I really like... I really want pizza.
I think that we're ready!
Josh, you need a plate? yep.
Please! There you go, buddy.
This looks awesome! Way to go.
Eating on the porch! Oh, now you can really hear the waterfall.
Oh yes!
I think I'm about to grab some.
Jed, you've balanced your plate very well.
I have split between chicken and suasage.
Oh wow. All done?!
Already?! Do you want some more?
I just want one more piece.
You can eat one more.
OK, you have to put the cookie on your forehead,
And then you have to, without using your hands, get it to your mouth.
See, I knew it!
Grandma already started. I keep dropping it!
I feel like I'm having a seizure...
I got it but I couldn't get it!
You gotta eat the cookie that's on your face without touching it
You're almost there Anna! Go go!
No!
I got it! Ohh!
Whoa! Oh my goodness!
Whoa! Good job!
That is the classic birthday dessert.
This is Oreo—well, we used to call it dirt, dirt pudding.
Joshua, it's dirt pudding.
Grandma's eating... I'm going to eat worms and dirt.
Want to eat worms and dirt with me?
No, I want to eat this.
No, well just wait.
