Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan

Mum, Dad and I went to an aquarium in Osaka. It's one of the biggest aquariums in the world! I really like aquariums! This one had so many different fish, mammals and birds. I loved the tropical fish, dolphins, seals, otters and penguins. By the time we got to the biggest tank filled with sharks, whale sharks and huge rays, I had lost interest a little and was having fun just running around. At the end we could touch sand sharks and see penguins being fed. It was a great day out, I slept for the whole trip back home.

The sun's setting, time to go home

Kobe Kachoen

Mum, Dad, Baba and I went to Kobe Kachoen, a bird and flower park on Port Island, Kobe. There were many beautiful birds and flowers. It was nice and warm inside there too which was good as it was a very cold day.
I enjoyed looking at the big owls, they were looking at me like I was food!
Baba fed the toucans, they were a bit scary! They're big and flew close to us.

1st shrine visit for 2014

We visited our local shrine, Sanda Tenmangu Jinja on New Years day. We walked there after our lunch, it was good exercise as we had eaten lots of nice food.
There was a long line of people waiting to enter the shrine. Once inside, Dad took me to throw some money and wish for good luck. Some people brought their dogs so I enjoyed waving to them.

Our New Years lunch, Baba worked hard!

The big line to get in!

Roll call

Mum had been teaching me how to react to a roll call and I finally can raise my hand, when she calls my name. Mum was so happy! Next step will be saying 'hai' and 'yes'.

Merry Christmas!

A bit late I know, but Merry Christmas.
I had a good Xmas and got lots of nice presents.
Mum put up our Xmas tree and I loved it! I enjoyed it everyday.

Styling my mohawk

I was trying on some clothes from my Nanny in New Zealand. I thought I had better style my hair too.

Hello, are you there?

How do I look?

Playtime!!

Going for a walk

I went for a walk with Mum and Dad today.
This is my first time to walk outside with my shoes on.
I really enjoyed it!!
