Our favorite and usual trail from Yokohama to Kamakura.
We took the trail on Saturday during Typhoon 13 warning. Originally kids signed up for IC radio making class. However, it got cancelled because of the typhoon warning. In fact, the typhoon didn’t arrive. It was one of the quietest Saturday. Everybody stayed in. We walked the quiet trail to Kamakura and had a wonderful time.

Akiva took a class for working on a copper sheet and some welding on steel.

He created a name plate.

Gigi (means grandpa in Japanese), Kenaz and I went to see some ships in Yokohama bay.

A North Korean spy ship which kidnapped Japanese was displayed. The ship looked like a fishing boat had many bullet marks by Japanese coast guard.

Long time have not posted. Here is what has happened since last update.

We had a Passover celebration.  I prepared everything, and didn’t have the energy to film.  But the kids did a good Four Questions.

Haga made chocolate caramel matzoh.

One of the dishes I made was an eggplant / olive / raisen / and carrot dish with 1 can tomatoes and some onions.

After Passover, I had a lot of dishes.  Haga entertained guests.

Later, in March, Akiva had musical performance:

Kenaz recently had his 5th grade Project. Before we saw the presentation for the Project, Kenaz played guitar in a performance:

Kenaz presented his project:

Here are the videos that we watched:

We went to winter camp to make a winter ornament and rice cake.

We need three pieces of lucky bamboos.

We went to a mountain to collect pine cones and other natural materials as symbols from the winter season.

Next day, we steamed rice.

While we are waiting for rice, we enjoyed bobsleigh on a fall leaf slide.

We pounded steamed rice.

We had rice cake in soup, desert rice cakes with sweet soybean power and sweet red bean paste. 

We pounded rice very well. It is very soft.

Kenaz is in a primary soccer team.

Akiva is in a middle school sports team. He plays 4 different sports, baseball, basketball, soccer and volleyball through the year.

He is number 21, the tallest in his team.

Akiva plays a first base.
