Look Mommy, I got Crabs


Friday Morning I picked up Kinu a little bit late and we rushed off to Yoshi's house. The little kids were already in the water catching crabs. Aren't they darling??? (I do mean the crabs...heeeheee!) The morning was pretty much laid back. Yoshi's house is beautiful, right on the river. The kids just played freely for a while and then we got ready for a pot luck and somen lunch. The watermelon was nice and cool thanks to the freezing-cold river.カニ可愛いでしょう? カニをつかまったカニも可愛いね。 吉村さんの家に着いたら、子供たちがもう川で遊んでった。昼まで楽して、流しそうめんを食べました。 そうして、保育園の子達みんな帰って小学生が来た。HULA♪レッスンして、みんな自分のご飯を作りました。なかなか上手にできました。みんなで温泉に行ってきれいになりました! 帰ってからナイト・ハイクと花火をしてお休みしました。もちろん先生たちがすぐ寝れんかったね。 ちょこっとワインを飲みながらいろいろ話しました。

After lunch, the little ones left and the Saturday program (elementary)kids came. They had Hula with Jo-Jo played girlie games upstairs and then were in charge of cooking their own dinner.

They enjoyed making pizza and did a really good job. We then headed off to Cocolo and Towa's father's onsen hotel for a bath. Although I thought it would be a bit awkward for me to be buck naked in front of all my 4th grade students, it was really really relaxing. We headed back to Yoshi's and went on a night-hike and did some fire works.
After attempting to get all the girls to bed, the teachers had a little pow-wow meeting with some nice wine... hehehe...
