On October 13th (monday) Shane had work off because of some Japanese holiday and so we decided to make the most of the beautiful fall day. We took the kids to a place in Yokohama called Kodomo no Kuni (Children's land). It is a place that is, well...a land completely dedicated to children. It is run by the government and acres and acres of land was set aside for it years ago. It is not like Disneyland, more like the biggest park you've ever seen.
Right after you go through the park entrance a huge black top surface goes up a hill. Sidewalk chalk is in basins for the kids to draw on it, and so EVERY inch is covered in pictures drawn by the kids.
This big blow up bounce house is "Anpanman". He is a very popular cartoon character among the kids here. Bryant had a great time jumping in it. 
Isaac and dad hanging out.
Cailey is in something that you go in on one side and climb through it until you come out on the other side. 
We lost Bryant inside this next one for about a half an hour. It is kind of like a maze inside. You can climb around and go on different levels. He was having a great time, but we couldn't fit inside to go look for him. Definitely a kid's paradise. 
This next picture I took mostly for the benefit of my friend Katie Shepard...just one of those things you will only find in Japan, a spinning onigiri (rice ball with seaweed on it. It's like the peanut butter sandwich of Japan, a staple). 
A big roller slide that looked way funner than it actually was.
