We went to Okinawa in June. Hikaru and Aine were very excited about petting dolphins.(me in my next life....)
In late July and early Aug during their summer break, they came out for a week to see their father (my brother)'s second cousins from Fukuoka-ken. We went to the Disneyland(*), Studio Ghibli museums, Fuji TV in Odaiba, Bon-odori festival+fire works, Shonan beach(*), swimming pool(*) and "Sony explora science" in Odaiba(*). We had sooooooo much fun!
(*)=I joined them in the afternoon...which means carrying Hikaru (15kg!!!) till my arms felt numb. He's spoiled! (but so irresistible!) then, I get in trouble...Aine wants piggyback, too...
Full-time aunt is a real hard work!!!!! (but so much fun, too!)
