Happy Mother's Day!

Today, we went to a temple and the artwork was very intricate and precise. There was also an embroidery room, where, sadly, you couldn't take any pictures, but it was very amazing. As my mom, grandma, and I were walking out of the temple, we saw these mice in a small cage. The man with the mice also had an outlet with what looked like a deodorizer but actually shocked the mice. We watched it and when he would do it, the mice would scatter and run wildly throughout the cage. He said that if you did it enough times, it would eventually kill the mice to get rid of them in your house.
After the temple, we went to the tea shop. There were some really cool tea pots. We also got to try some tea. There, I realized, I am NOT a tea person. All of the ones we tried seemed so bitter and bland. But, we think Jon likes tea. We learned that tea has caffiene! GREAT! Looks like we'll be having an all-nighter tonight!
Today, my mom and I went for a walk while Jon was napping. We went to lunch at the hotel restuarant and it was so good. Partly because we were both so hungry. We also walked past this Chinese restaurant where they sold anything from turtles to rattlesnakes. As I walked by, I got major heebee-jeebees! I have pictures for you.
Today, so far, Jon has only had one meltdown, so we are doing well. He is also getting better at changing time.
Here is the verse of the day. Psalm 97:11-12, Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.

Snake is on the menu at this restaurant

Does shark sound good?

The food was placed near the sidewalk, so when you want to go in, you just pick what you want.

The eel looked the least appetizing to me.
