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.

October 6-8, 2022 - This was overnight trip
number 23 and was for three days and two nights. This trip was all about putting
in potatoes and seeds in our new garden beds. A detailed list to follow.

October 18-20, 2022 - This was overnight trip
number 24 and was for three days and two nights. This was a really exciting trip
because Lael actually had his first baby tooth come out at night while we were
eating and it was all caught on camera. The next day we found a Toyota Hiace
online which was going to be auctioned off and we actually bought it for the
equivalent of $3,500. This will be used as a bedroom to replace the damaged
tent. The project was getting rid of as many tree chunks as possible in
preparation for the new bus.

October 21-22, 2022 - This was overnight trip
number 25 and was for two days and one night. This was the first time to stay
overnight, return home, and then return to the mountain the next day. The
projects were again about getting rid of as many tree chunks as possible.

October 24-27, 2022 - This was overnight trip
number 26 and was four days and three nights. This trip was all about getting
the space ready for the new bus which was delivered on the second day. The third
day we used the truck to push the bus up to the campsite. The bus was too heavy
and it rained and it kept sliding sideways. The pushing resulted in minimal
damage to a tail light and some scraped off paint. The fourth day the bus was
moved into position in the campsite and all the trash was removed to bring home.
A very productive trip for sure.
