Every 3 years, for at least the last 9 years, my parents have home-stayed players from a girls soccer team from Japan. Tokiwagi highschool sent 3 teams to the USA Cup soccer tournament held at the soccer complex here in Blaine. It's a tournament my sister and I played in many times and have great memories from. The japanese girls are so fun to watch. Most of the players don't speak english, but it's fun to try to communicate in other ways. Pat and I were able to bring Finley to a few games and we had a blast cheering them on!
Finley slept through some of the games :)
The coaches wife brought their son, Toshi, who was a few months older than Finley. I can't believe they took him on that long of a plane ride!! Toshi and Finley were both a little confused by the other :)
The girls loved Finley. Although not as much as shopping!
Depending on how crazy our life is with our own family in 3 years, we may be joining in the home-stay fun for Tokiwagi's return trip!
