Interesting Beach Day
June 14, 2023 - We went to the beach to pick up
trash and ended up getting a flat tire. I found a piece of wood and was able to
use that to keep the jack stable and change the tire. While there, we met up
with Popeye again who was walking to the onsen. He decided not to go because he
wanted to give us a fish. After changing the tire we went to his boat and he
gave us a 110 cm mahi mahi fish. We took it home and watched Akiko fillet the
fish in the driveway in the pouring rain. |

Beach Camping
June 15, 2023 - This was the first day of a two
day, one night beach camping and yak fishing trip at our new beach. This was
also the first night for Akiko and Ethan and Lael to sleep in the new tent. I
slept in the bus. Shai slept in the old tent with the open entry. We all got
pretty bit up by mosquitoes. |

Daddy Day and Shore Fishing
June 18, 2023 - We decided to go shore fishing
even though there was a chance of rain. Well it ended up pouring but me and Shai
continued to fish in very cold and windy conditions. I caught a crab and Shai
caught a target fish. Akiko and Ethan and Lael watched videos in the bus. A bit
of fun at night with some homemade lego swords and play fighting. Then a nice
meal and drinks to celebrate Daddy Day. |

put in sweet potatoes. |

Mountain Camping
June 21-24, 2023 - This was overnight trip
number 43 and was for four days and two nights. This trip was all about getting
rid of the huge pile of canopy which was cut months ago. This was completed on
the first day. Then the second day was spent removing a lot of the sticky tress,
some of which were already a couple of meters tall. While doing this had no idea
was only a few centimeters away from the worst snake which was coiled up on the
top of a cut oak tree. Put in new bee bottles and found 9 worst bees in the old
bottle at the end of the road, and 16 in the bottle at the entry of the road.
Then on the last day, the play area was finished up. Then went to Urada beach for
a couple of hours before returning home.

Chess Masters and Beach Camping
June 27, 2023 - Lael and Ethan were playing chess
in the toy room. This was also the first day of a three day, two night beach
camping and yak fishing trip at our new beach. Today Shai caught a small fish.
On the third day Ethan was standing naked at the beach and let out a bunch of
poo. Then we let Ethan hold one of the fishing poles and something began pulling
on the line very strongly. He actually caught a sting ray and was his first
catch fishing. |
