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.

Who
Dat?
February 1, 2013 - Who dat?
Jim and Linda of course. They made the long half mile walk
over the park and we all did a picnic together. Hey dude
those carrots were really spicy. |
Another
Beautiful Day
February 2, 2013 - This time
we made a picnic in the grassy area a little away from the
playground. |
Fun
Party
February 9, 2013 - A few
friends came over for a small pot luck party at the house
today. Really been awhile to see some of you. Hopefully can
get together again before heading back to Japan in a few
weeks.

An
Older Woman?
February 13, 2013 - This eight
year old at the park really took a liking to Shai. He was
shy at first but eventually began playing with her. They
played soccer, football, frisbee, and even flew paper
airplanes as shown in the picture. |
Together
Once Again
February 15, 2013 - Really
happy my wife, son, and daughter all got to see each other a
few times during this trip back home. The last time was over
three years ago when Shai was only three and a half months
old. |
Can
You Say Global Warming?
February 16, 2013 - Today it
went up to something like 80 degrees. We went to the
playground and it was actually a bit too warm for Shai to
play. We decided to head back home and go swimming in the
heated pool. Then we went in the jacuzzi which was a lot
different than a Japanese onsen but nice nonetheless. We
laid out in the sun and went back in the house around 3:00
pm as it began to get a bit cooler. |
Again
and Again
February 16, 2013 - This
definitely turned out to be the favorite place for Shai this
vacation back home. Cannot even count the number of times we
went to this park in three months. With a new playground,
plenty of open grass area, and a lot of animals and birds,
this is the perfect place for a 3-year-old. |
Feeding
the Birds
February 17, 2013 - We took
some old challah of all things to the park today and fed the
birds. Shai really likes doing this. He got to see mallard
ducks, coots, and seagulls.
Mission Trails Regional Park is a wonderful place to take
kids. |
