Hey girls — Hey sweeties! Welcome back!
So, early Spring Break!
Normally Spring Break you don't have any homework
So much homework. More than Natsu Yasumi (Summer Break)
She has less homework than me.
Now you get to work — uhhhh.
The last day of school!
I got my homework. My homework, my homework, my homework.
So much homework, huh?
Sarah's just chilling like "ha ha!"
The teacher's have been busy!
"You need to flip them over on this..."
What a big, busy day today for you?!
You look really busy right now.
I was, but now I'm not.
I did my Japanese.
Are you getting your homework done already?
Mm hmm.
What are you working on Anna cakes?
I'm doing my math.
It won't be long when I'm going to shyogakou (elementary school)
That's right - ahh!!
Turn it off.
Did you sleep the whole way?
Yep.
Hey camera, are you ready to go on the slide?
Today we are coming out to a new park that was suggested to us
To check out a gorilla slide — ah — or a Godzilla slide I should say...
So we're going to see
Kurihama Hana no Kuni (Kurihama Flower Park)
I think we're the only people here.
What?!
Alright, here's our map. We can see what we need to do.
These are massive flower beds here. This would be a lot of fun to check out later.
This is quite an incline here — it's really going up, huh dude?
My goodness guys!
Ah, here's a bench. Should we stop and rest for a moment?
So kids on that one — mommies and daddies on this one.
Let's continue our trek on up, alright?
We're almost like a hiking family.
I can't get it — hey!
Oh, you don't need another one of this!
Anna!
Smile
Smile Joshua!
Big smile, Big J!
Let's just keep moving.
Not all your photo opportunities are winners.
Do you see the top? Boy, we're still walking uphill!
And then it would be fun if we could run down the hill!
You can run down the hill?
What's mommy doing back there? Some of her exercises?
I need one of those ski lift thingies, you know.
Joshua's going to carry mommy?
Can I get on your back? Carry me!
No, I can't. I can carry you!
You're too heavy.
I'm too heavy? Yeah.
Oh my!
We're up the ski lift!
Wow Anna, look at this place here!
Oh the view! I need to take a picture!
Hey Daddy, look at the grass! It spells "Kurihama Hana no Kuni" Oh yea.
So we parked down there — way down there!
Here's a picture to get.
Becca's going to take a picture! Can you see Joshua?
Yeah.
Oh, normally there's a train that works here.
That would be great, wouldn't it?
Oh! There's the park, there's the park!
Can we go? Can we go?
It's closed?!
That's closed too. It's all closed today.
What a bummer. That looks like it would be fun, fun, fun!
Ruth the photographer...
going to get pictures of the kids.
There's bees!
There's bees? Oh.
Kakui (cool)!
There's the bay and the ocean.
And a really, really long downhill walk.
Well it's all closed up here, it's under construction.
So we're going to head on over to the other side of the park
And go check out the playground that's over there.
Let's see, can we get on the train?
OK Let's go in the back!
On the train!
It's chilly today!
(In Japanese) OK, we're leaving!
Ah! That's the girl that gave us the tickets!
Is this so fun?
Oooo! I don't like this side.
Whoa!
We just keep going higher and higher.
Here's where we want to go — I think it's where we want to go.
Here we go, here we go!
(Singing) We're going to the park, we're going to the park
Hi ho the derio, we're going to the park! Yea!
Oh, look at the heart! It's made of flowers, guys!
Let's get a picture.
Aww, let's see. OK, um, this?
Ah, that's cute.
Look at this slide — this thing is intense. Epic is the right word.
Looks like they're all ready.
Becca get on! Ok. Ok go.
3, 2, 1, ah!
Cool?!
It's a long ways up!
Here we go. Anna's going to go back down. Here she comes with the GoPro.
Oh my!
That was so cool!
That was so fast!
Just go.
Here she comes.
We still have more to walk!
Our car is waiting for us!
This has been a real fun place. The sun came out, it got warm.
And we had lots of fun!
Another good excursion for Life in Japan!
Hooray!
What are you working on, Anna? English.
The same thing you're working on Becca? I'm done already.
You're done? You finished!
What about your Japanese homework? Did you finish that already?
Yes. On the first day.
On the first day you got all of it done?!
Wow! Good for you guys!
High five!
What's "Urayamashi?" Girls?
What's ura- urayamashi?
Something, something "shi."
I know that! Something something Shi?
That doesn't help!
You're helping do the laundry?
Good for you!
Mommy, I'm done!
Are you helping mommy too? What were you doing?
The fridge. Oh, the fridge!
Oh I didn't know we had a fridge under all those pictures!
Wow!
Did you finish your cleaning? Let me see.
Oh! Becca boo!
Awww!
Wow! Look at this!
Kids don't naturally do this. You have to train them to do this.
You show them how to do it, and then!
Yes! They become big helpers around the house!
