Play room

Yesterday, I had a meeting and it was so late to got home.

Ritsuko took kids to fast food restaurant.

In U.S., almost every those restaurant has big play room for kids.

So after eating, they were enjoying with slide.

Also they got a toy as a bonus for meal, so there are 4 funny bugs in my home,it looks like Otomi!

Lunch

Today I had a nice lunch in my home.
That was Mentaiko spaghetti, it was dressed in milk cream and Mentaiko, which was cod ovum.

If there is nice luncheon mat underneath the dish, looks like having lunch good cafe or restaurant!


I heard it from my kids, they ate it in dinner last night.
It was so delicious that they had refill again and again.


I requested Ritsuko to take it today lunch time and I also had second helping.
So delicious!


Thanks Ritsuko!!

Spring-2

Today I discovered pink blossom on the tree at.our work campus.

It is similar to Japanese Momo, kind of peach blossom.

But it was rainy today, so we could not drink around that tree, just kidding.

I like not only small blossom but also pink blossom on the tree that remind me just now Spring.

I hope it will come back fine day this weekend, because I'd like to go Egg hunting with my kids again!

Spring!

In these days, I feel spring around here and there.

Today I found the small flower blossom and bud in my work campus.

Also found geese's egg that seems bigger than chicken's.

It was still light over at 8 P.M. o'clock.

And after dinner kids could go and play outside.

They were enjoying jump rope, ride bicycle and running around the garden.

We will have nice season, not too much hot and cold from now.

Book fair

Haruki and Minami brought book add from school.

They asked me to have some books, and off course we said OK.

I and Ritsuko were surprised and happy, because they were able to read and understand English book now and interested in English book. That was great progress for them.

When I had meeting with their teacher, they recommended our kids read a lot of books during summer vacation.

So we need to prepare many books for vacation.

School has chance to buy it cheaper.

Also we'll use public library.

Fishing

Today I went to Owyhee river with my friends.

We leave Brock's home at 7:30 am.

It was fine day, so Brock had some concern too much fine.

We got fishing license river side town, and there were pretty lot of people who wanted that licence.

We arrived today's destination at 10, and start fishing.

Brock's friend Phill got many fishes, Brock was few?, but I and Sho were no fish....

Around noon I and Sho took a lunch time, Cup Noodle!, but the other guys seemed no rest, what a tough men they were!

I forgot to bring chopstick, and we made it with knife and some branch.

Even though it was afternoon, almost every fishes were very slow and we couldn't look rise of fish.

Finally we burned out and finish it.

I was very tired and very sleep in the way to home.

When I had a chance to see container train, and it was so long and so many rail wagon that I tried to count those. But it was kind of count sheep and I could not count all of them. Zzzz...

Excuse me Sho!

Anyway I had no fish in Owyhee yet........

I hope I can get big fish next time!

Let's go again!

Easter@Boise Zoo

Today we went to Boise zoo for Easter Egg hunt.

It was nice day to stay outside, not so cold not so hot, just warm.

Kids got excited at that event and they picked a lot of eggs and candies.

There were so many kids, and that hunting were done by age. Haruki and Minami joind same category. Haruki got 11 eggs and Minami was 5 eggs, that had candy with some free meal ticket.

We can go some restaurant with those ticket.

Thank you Haruki and Minami!

After Egg hunt we toured around the zoo.

Minami changed her face, Easter bunny!

We were looking forward to seeing African animals, lions and giraffes.

Lion he had no action, kept only lay-down......

Africa is so big, and that has several animal we've usually never seen.

After that we had dinner in PF Chang at Boise down town.

Everyone could have good and happy time at that restaurant.

Almost every kids went to dream world for the driving back to home .

But at home, they checked their prize!!

Kanami still stay dream world?

April but still snow!

Today I had meeting with Haruki and Minami's ELL teacher.

His teacher said Haruki achieved intermediate level of English skill in the span of 7 months.

That was amazing!

Minami also almost same as Haruki, they are studying very hard everyday.

That makes me feel proud.

By the way today it was strange weather, I thought we already get spring, but it was snowy at noon. Kids were exciting and playing at outside with their jacket.

Off course it was not so much snow.

Tomorrow Bogus has good condition? However I have plan to go to Boise zoo for Easter event.

Po could go?

She likes to put sticker anywhere.

Anmial?

Today I took a day off and went to Yellowstone!

We saw a lot of wild animals, bear, moose and wolf!

We were so exciting!

Just kidding, I forgot to tell a lie yesterday, it was April fool that day we were allowed to do it.

So we went outdoor shop Cabelas today.

That store is very huge and sell interesting things, I like this shop!

Multi tool

Finally I got multi tool, Leatherman skeletool CX!

It is very simple multi tool, not has so many kinds of tool.

But seems easy to use, and it was useful for me.

I bring it in my work everyday.

I need pliers sometime, but it was bother me to keep real one anytime.

That product has 25 years warranty, it seems too much long, but they have confidence for their quality.

I need to learn their attitude as an engineer.

Pine derby car

Pine derby car, I had small progress.

Just curving with curving tool.

That was first time for me but pine was easy to cut and very interesting.

So I did with excitement for few hours.

I can't wait next step!

But it seems get more difficult step by step.
