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.

- This was overnight trip number 30 and was for three days and two nights. This trip was all about setting up the oil stove and expanding the play area. The buses look like some type of homeless area with a couple of sheets enclosing the space between them in order to warm things up at night. The campsite is basically finished for now except for a couple spots. The temperatures were much cooler but okay.

- This was overnight trip number 31 and was for four days and three nights. This trip was actually the beginning of really thinning out the forest of vines and understory trees.
