The Owl Cafe in Kyoto

There is an owl cafe with a Bengal cat cafe down below.  G and Philip went down to the Bengal cat cafe and C and I went to the owl cafe.  Unfortunately, the Bengal cat cafe was kind of a bust. The friendliest cats were already surrounding only two people and the rest of the patrons only got to pet the not so friendly cats a little.  In the owl cafe, there is a one way path that you can go around as many times as you like and you can pet any owl with the back of your hand, except if they have a break or new owl sign.

There were signs telling about each owl.  I didn't take pictures of them all.  

Hedwig!

This owl was taking a break.  

The gift shop had a bunch of super cute owl things.  C really liked these because there were four owls, like our family has four members. He's quite a sentimental child.  He loved this experience!

Goodbye for now, Kitty Boys!

Tomorrow we are being officially packed up for our air and sea shipments, so we took Ralph and Diamond to their new home for the next couple of months. Thanks, friend, for being willing to take them for us!

We forgot some things,  including the litter boxes. So we went back home and came back with them. Diamond was still in the carrier.

Ralph was having a hissy fit, literally hissing. He was NOT happy with us. 

Hopefully the kitty boys will adjust soon. C,  our sentimental child, seemed fine (we are planning to move them to be with us), but at dinner he was looking really sad and started to cry when we asked him what was wrong. Change is hard, for everyone. I keep wanting to call the cats (not that they would come, but I do it anyway), and I thought I saw Diamond for a second in the office, where he liked to spend time while Papa P is working. It should all be worth it in the end, though. 

One Month to Go!

It's amazing how quickly, yet slowly time goes. Only one month to go until our big move. 

We have kept busy with packing/sorting through things and visiting with family who live two states away.  

Ralph thinks he owns anything and everything in our house. He fell into the wardrobe box!

Time with family! All we seem to do is eat!

Boba!

Costco pizza! I love how they made room for all the kids (it's a four seat table)!!

Yummy chicken!!

Feeding the chicken chicken?!!

They are a fun bunch!

Delicious BBQ!
