Day 6: Friday
Hotcakes
Once a month Sarah brings the kids to Hotcakes. This is a learning play time for young kids. I've never been to a Gymboree class, but I imagine it's similar (however, Hotcakes doesn't have all the colorful play equipment). We had fun trying to figure out the names of all the animals they sang about. It was hard to distinguish between the word for the animal and the sound the animal makes--- in Japanese they use different animal sounds (ex: "wan wan" instead of "woof woof"). After Hotcakes we took a trip to Jusco for lunch. I was thrilled when we found shrimp chips at a Chinese stand!!! Growing up I used to get shrimp chips when my family ate Thai food. Annabella loved them!!---which could be partly due to the fact that they are pink!! :-)
Great Helpers!!
We finished the day with more Settlers in the afternoon then watching the kids for Sarah and Jon as they were at a planning meeting for their mission team. Olivia and Annabella were fantastic helpers all night. These sweet nieces made the evening a terrific one...thanks girls!! :-)
Things Learned:
1) "Taco" means octopus
2) everything has a sound effect in Japanese
