What a great day. We rode our bikes in to Zushi to pick up bentos (lunch) and headed to the beach for some fun in the sun. The water was still too cold for me but it didn't seem to bother the boys.





Jeff hanging out at the "campsite".




I think the best thing about our days at the beach is our stop at "Moo Moos" for homemade organic ice cream on our way home. Poor Ethan...he just couldn't hang in there. He was asleep within 10 seconds of Jeff strapping him in.







As I was uploading the photos earlier he was on my lap. He saw the pictures of his daddy and Andrew eating ice cream and his face got serious and he said "hey...where's mine?" Two and a half and he doesn't miss a trick. :)

I am so proud of you....this is a GREAT post. (You thought I was going to say I was proud about the bike riding, didn't you ;-)?) I love your photos, and I love your story, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ice cream, ESPECIALLY with Ethan's chapter close in seeing that he didn't get one while he was sawing logs. :-)

GREAT!!!

ANd it took me right back to late Spring in Japan. BEAUTIFUL beach time, I think...not too hot and humid, after all.

So, can I put in an "order" for the next post? Please choose one from this list: yukata fabric; bean seller by the Daibutsu and Kannon in Kamakura; racetrack sushi; ramen; green phones; Livin' and More's City; fish vendor; seaweed farmers; rice vendor and what you've been knitting and studying.

YOu think you can get all that done by the move? ;-)

ha ha ha ha!
