This is a story about an
international couple raising and home educating three
young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in
buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in
the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with
climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages
are about pretty much anything and everything all guided
by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes,
Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our
ongoing crazy adventure.

 Beach
Day
June 24, 2016 - Today we decided to get the baby
out of the house and visit some of our favorite places on the island. This would
be the first time for Lael to go to any of these beautiful spots.

out together at Maenohama beach.
We began with a trip to Maenohama Seaside Park and beach. Then we went to Hamada
beach and the Chikura Caves. Unfortunately we could not go in the caves today
due to a very high tide. Then we finished off the day with a trip to the rock
beach close to our house and watched the sunset over the neighboring Yakushima
island.
