Back to Enoshima Aquarium and Beach

We took a trip out to Enoshima Aquarium which is a favorite of Cooper's and relatively close by.

Sam stood still for a split second

Jellyfish!!

Yes, Cooper touched the sharks...not sure what kind though

After the aquarium we decided to walk the beach right next to it on the water.   The weather was great and Cooper somehow ended up completely soaked.

The sun was setting on the drive home and I got a quick shot of Mt. Fuji silhouetted on the skyline

Woolly Mammoth in Yokohama!

There was a traveling display of a 39,000 year old frozen, intact Woolly Mammoth showing at the convention center in Yokohama.  It sounded pretty interesting, so we piled into the car and carefully navigated our way to the CC in Yokohama.  Unfortunately, pictures were not allowed of the baby mammoth....but we took some before and after the main exhibit.

Affectionately named Yuka (fragrant, friendly blossom)

A hut made from elephant (mammoth?) parts

Could have been the highlight for Sam

Not to be outdone by Sam....

Seika Swim Week!

Cooper's school had a week of pool fun and I was lucky enough to have the day off to volunteer and be poolside.  It was so much fun seeing Coop interact with his peers and teachers in such a carefree environment. My responsibilities included, but not limited too: pre pool rinsing (kids), post pool rinsing and taking pictures.

They have a pretty awesome slide!

He loved watering the pool
