Last Saturday we stayed close to home. We had so much fun on Friday morning at the Sand Dollar Beach that we decided to go show Robert what we were talking about.
Unfortunately, the weather was a bit cooler and cloudier. The water was still cold. So the kids and Robert were freezing…we stayed at the beach for maybe 45 min. 
After eating lunch at the beach, we headed home through some beautiful rice patties. We saw signs pointing to Tonami Clan Village and figured we better stop by there since it’s been over two years when we were there last time.
First stop—horses statues.
Mark’s got his own pony.
Yee-haw!
Next stop--small petting zoo. It’s amazing how excited kids get to see roosters, bunnies and goats just because they don’t live near a farm.
One thing we had to do was experience the thrill of Japanese go cars, of course:) Two laps was enough for me, but the boys could have been going for another hour.
Final stop—the frog.
It’s not just a regular frog, you see? 
It’s the same frog that was there almost three years ago in September 2009. We took a picture on purpose at the same spot to see how much kids have changed.
They turned a bit more Japanese, that’s for sure.
But at least one of them still believes in fairy tales…

Very nice story, Katia is so cute on the last photo and tell her, that you can believe in fairy tails the rest of your life and it's not forbidden at all;)
