This is Oba-chan (Taro's Grandma) from Numazu modeling the robe we got her! Man, I hope I look like that when I'm 94! She's amazing! From cooking delicious food to making all kinds of traditional Japanese art! Oji-chan (Grandpa) is doing well too at the ripe age of 97! Unfortunately, our Japanese iPad lessons we did for the past few months didn't pay off as we expected, you can still tell that they are such sweet people with tender hearts! Our understandings are much better than last time, although we only understand every 10-15 words or so. At least we know what they are talking about :) Love in any language, right?!
Here is an example of an everyday meal that is prepared at the house when family comes to visit. Amazing, right?! And oh so tasty!!! Kyla is doing really well with eating...she's trying it all!
These are Kyla's adorable Japanese cousins she met for the first time! They are so sweet in taking Kyla's hand and explaining everything to her in Japanese although Kyla doesn't understand a lick of it, she's soaking it up! I think by the end of the two weeks, she'll definitely pick some up! I think kids teaching kids another language is a great way to learn because it's not intimidating or overwhelming, it's in a very kind and gentle manner.
Had to share this, it's an adorable shot of Kyla and Daddy enjoying the fireworks in their traditional yukatas for the summer festival! She was really frightened at first, but grew to love them by the end! You think America has great fireworks?! You've got another thing comin'! They lasted a full hour! For the finale, we all piled into our hotel room where we had the perfect spot, and this next shot is....
