I was able to do some day trips with Calista and Beatrix while the big kids were in school but before they started Japanese school. One day we tagged along with friends to a pretty good-sized shrine.
Sometimes we forget we live in Japan... just kidding... kind of. Trips to shrines always make us feel like we are getting the full Japan experience.
This next torii gate is supposed to be floating in the water. I guess you have to catch it when the tide is high, which we obviously did not.
Another day we went to a traditional Japanese village.
A traditional Japanese village with an awesome modern playground.
This next picture is back at our house. Scarlett is planting a blueberry bush.
Some of the kids, including Calista, have their own strawberry plants. She was so excited to eat her first strawberry off of the plant. After about a month of having the strawberry plants, Beatrix realized she could eat the strawberries off of everyone's plants not just her own and we really couldn't stop her cusing lots of heartache for the other girls.
One day I went with a friend and her daughter to an indoor play place. The girls had a blast.
We even went to a ceramics park in Hasami. The park has old kilns and the town is full of shops selling pottery. It was a cute town. and we got ice cream before heading home.
