Rolling on the ground of falling SakuraThough the Sakura was starting to fall, they still make a beautiful view ever p_cherryblossom.gifh_kira02.gif

Lunch picnic under the falling SakuraIf some breezy wind comes by, it makes it all amazingly prettymark3_sign01.gif for a O-hanami day h_heart04.gif
with the Sakura falling gracefully down to the ground assembling the falling snow w_4_snow.gifp_cherryblossom.gif

Lunch picnic under the falling SakuraWe called it “Sakura Fubuki 桜吹雪face3_kao22.gif

Having so much funToo bad I didn’t get to capture the moment of the falling Sakura with the breeze w_5_typhoon.gifp_sakura.gif

Running in full energy up and down the path!But I guess it worth more to feel this amazing moment before anything else face_shy.gif

Observaing the fallen Sakura!I have this Little-big-boss, who starts to recognize Sakura more than he did last year p_sakura.gif

Our favourite nearby spot 気に入りのお散歩スポット
★2014/08/21 18:41

Ever since I have my Little-big-boss around, almost everyday we’ll be out having a walk p_hana-ani03.gif or to nearby parks p_tulip.gif or tea with nearby mama friends f_x_coffe03.gif

It’s just easier for me to look after Little-big-boss and without cleaning up and got messed up again the next minute face2_catface.gif
And of course it’s happier, healthier and much more fun for me and Little-big-boss himself face2_happy01.gifh_notes.gif

Yeah, we have to keep connected with the outside world through our sense not just through the screen face3_kao02.gif




Anyway, when we were having our walk, there’s this old little cigarettes’ shop that we would stop by most of the time.

This shop is kinda unique h_bikkuri04.gif

The uncle from this shop will always place something especially things that attract kids in front of his shop o_carouselpony.gifh_shine.gif And they keep changing according to seasons and festivals p_cherryblossom.gifw_1_hare.gifp_maple.gifw_4_snow.gif

For example,

Spinning top コマ遊びA table with some spinning tops an_snail.gifp_hana-ani01.gif
One of the old-time games face2_wink.gif



Spinning top コマ遊びKinda nostalgic to see this and heart warming to know there’s someone is trying to keep the old culture face_self-conscious_smile.gifh_heart06.gif
Little-big-boss had fun with them face2_happy01.gif

Kids play whatever is given, shall we let them explore before they got stick on the screen of some sort face2_wink.gif




Rubber ballThere were colorful rubber balls in a pool of water too h_bikkuri04.gif
Hold, roll, throw, pick the colors, any ways you wanna play it h_note.gif




At the same time, it was the 7th of July, the Tanabata festival h_kira02.gif
Uncle, the shop owner prepared some papers and pens there for people to write down their wishes, “tanzaku” w_7_star.gif

IMG_6398And we wrote down a few face2_smile.gif


Tanabata wish 七夕の願いLittle-big-boss writing down some wishes too face2_catface.gif
He had a flu, so I wrote a wish wishing him for fast recovery h_heart09.gif

After a month, when I came back from Malaysia, we came by this shop again face2_smile.gif

As usual, though I didn’t mention it yet, there are always some small animals displayed alongside too.
Fishes , scorpions , snakes, snails, crabs, tortoise, beetles and etc an_fish.gifan_scorpius.gifan_mushi.gifan_snail.gifan_cancer.gifan_kaeru.gif
a2_down2.gif

a2_down2.gif
Watching small animalsIn small aquariums and containers h_kira02.gif



Feeding the tortoise かめさんに餌やりThe uncle here I think he likes kids to expose more to the nature, that he always talk and persuade Little-big-boss to try and touch or hold the little animals face3_kao20.gif (the safe one of course!).
Little-big-boss likes to see from far, but once any of them is near him, he will move back and hide face3_kao20.gif



Since he was afraid of touching any of them, the uncle let him help to feed the tortoise instead face2_catface.gif



Mimosa pudica plant おじぎ草In summer, there was a plant of Mimosa Pudica displayed over there too.
I think some of you may be quite familiar with this in your childhood face2_smile.gif
In Malay, we called it rumput malu-malu which means bashful grass
and in Japanese we called it Ojigi grass (おじぎ草) which means the bowing grass p_futaba.gif



Drawing on rocks 石にお絵かき!動物にAnd we have a new display this round!
“Rocks with drawings” h_shine.gif
Creative and definitely one of an interesting activity for the kids h_shine.gif






What even more surprising me was, the Tanabata display a month ago has turned to…

Watering the Kappa family かっぱ家族にお水かけThe Kappa family mark3_sign03.gif(*゜θ゜*)(*゜θ゜*)(*゜θ゜*)



Watering the Kappa family かっぱ家族にお水かけAnd there were 2 families mark3_sign03.gif mark3_sign03.gif(*゜θ゜*)(*゜θ゜*)(*゜θ゜*)(*゜θ゜*)(*゜θ゜*)(*゜θ゜*)
It is a tradition to water the Kappa’s head especially when it dries up faster in a hot summer day w_1_hare.gif



Kappa's badge かっぱのバッチHere’s a display of Kappa’s facesh_kira01.gif



Drawing a Kappa pendant かっぱのペンダントを作るFeeling inspired, we got the base from uncle and started drawing our own kappa o_p_pencil.gifface2_happy02.gif

This park is really really big that in order to get to our lunch destination, the open field, we had to walk like more than 30 minutes in the park itself..
There were a few entrance for the park and the entrance that we entered was the furthest one..face3_kao18.gif

Walking towards the open fieldPretty challenging when you have a baby to look after while carrying all the stuffs and while you have a husband who went ahead so far away to take picturesface2_wobbly.gif

Little-big-boss loves playing ball nowadays, that he will go all excited and shout out “bo-, bo-” whenever he saw a ball on the street, at the park, or anywhere s_soccer.gifh_shine.gif
(the ball in the pic belonged to someone else though)




Time to go for the animals in the zoo!

This is a very small zoo park which is free of charge, just nice for little babies to explore without being too exhausted h_notes.gif

Though small, though they do not have elephants, giraffes, gorillas, lions, tigers, all those big animals..
they have zebra, monkeys, red pandas, donkey, flamingos, and all the smaller animals an_c_chick.gifan_capricornus.gifan_p_buta.gifan_taurus.gifan_usagi.gifan_c_hiyoko.gifan_capricornus.gifmark3_sign01.gif
