Hello. Hello...
I have had a ton of fun these past few weeks. I have been to Nikko, kugenua-Onsen, Tokyo, surfing in chiba for a week, climbed Mount Fuji, and played with kids in the ocean. I will post more photos in a bit.

Water Camp!

So, the first week of water camp is over. I was a loot of fun, a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. We had pre teens (4th -6th graders) they were so good and they loved all of the activities that we planned for them. We went moterboating on the ocean, tubing, kayaking, sailing, snorkeling, and had a fun little treasure hunt. How could they not like it, right? I have another week of water sports next week and then I have surf camp which I am looking forward to. At surf camp we stay in a pro surfer's beach house on the beach, surf all day, soak in an onsen at night, and eat raman for dinner. Gosh I can't wait to go! Kids learning how to snorkel

Maybe I like it a little too much...
