Let it Snow in Yeti

We took a day trip to Yeti, which resides at the base of Mt. Fuji; about 2 hours away. We sled until we were frozen, then went into the lodge for lunch and cocoa. Afterwards we spent time in front of the cozy fire pits. It was a great family day. And, even though we hit a huge snowstorm on our way out and were stuck for 2 hours without moving, we still agreed it was well worth the trip.

I think what I am appreciating most about the Japanese, is their passion for being "festive". You give them a "theme" and they run with it. I too share that passion... I love a good theme. At Yeti, we discovered Japanese "snowball makers" that give you the perfect gorgeously round snowball.... really fun. Plus there were the outdoor fire pits and the man made Igloo's for the kids to play in which added to the ambiance (in Japanese you say "fu-in-kee"). The Japanese do not skip the details. That has it's negatives and positives. For Yeti, it was all positive.





PS We have to laugh at what they gave Shailey to wear... she looked like the CDA from Monster's Inc... you know the guys that have to decontaminate the monsters if they came in contact with a human? Funny.
