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 38 and was for four days and three nights. This trip was all about putting in the processed turmeric, wild turmeric, and gajyutsu along with setting up the metal frame and putting in seeds. A lot of net was also put up to keep the deer out. This was actually the first time to use the new bus as a bedroom. A worst bee was seen at the campsite along with the multicolored snake. The weather was beautiful although a bit chilly at night.

- This was overnight trip number 39 and was for four days and three nights. This trip was all about putting up the net around out forest farm and putting in as many seeds as possible. In addition, almost all of the cut food from the hill next to the campsite was processed and the entire area was raked up. There was a huge worst bee at the campsite which was hit smacked and finished. The bee bottles were put up at both ends of the access road. The weather was really nice but it rained a bit when we were returning home.

- This was overnight trip number 40 and was for two days and one nights. This trip was for picking up our new bus. The campsite was pretty soaked from the rain and it was really difficult to get the BBQ going. Then it began raining a bit in the afternoon when we returned home.
