Guam - the sun came out!

After some nice, relaxing days the sun came out and I was ready to hit the pool.
I really loved it! The water was nice and warm and I had no problem diving straight in.
Each day my swimming improved and I didn't want to lie on my back anymore, I want to swim!
I had fun playing with everybody, Baba bought me a ball that bounces on water. I enjoyed all the different pools, especially the infinity pool which had a ledge that I could jump off. After swimming I enjoyed the hot tub. I didn't want to get out.

The main pool. It was deep!

I can see a rainbow!

Guam Holiday - the first couple of days

We went for a holiday to Guam. Mum, Dad, Baba, Jiji, Aunty Masumi and Uncle Kekke went. Uncle Kekke came all the way from New York! I was just 4 months old the last time I saw him in person so I was very happy!

I was sick on our departure date, I had a high temperature. I wasn't too bad but felt low energy sometimes. I could still enjoy the airport and flying though, I'm just a little scared when the plane first gets up in the air but otherwise I'm fine.

It was raining when we arrived in Guam so I just relaxed for the first 2 days and got better. Dad and Kekke went swimming and snorkeling in the rain, I really wanted to join them! I actually tried but got grabbed.

On our 3rd day we went on a tour around Guam. We went to some nice places but the rain affected the view. I had fun with everyone and enjoyed the bus and an aquarium.

Bye bye Japan

These fish were painted on the Aquarium wall, they looked great!

Cosmos

Mum, Dad, Jiji and I went to Hikami to see Cosmos flowers.
Hikami is a nice area about 45mins drive from home. We went there last year to see some Autumn colours.

Trying to get me to pose.

So many flowers!

Nice backyard!

Nice blue sky.

Waving to some admirers

Stars and Puddles

We sometimes pass these stars when Dad picks me up from daycare. I like to have a climb on them. On this day, I also found a little puddle, I had fun stamping my feet in it!

Bus Festival and Himeji Castle

We drove to Himeji to attend a bus festival and to see Himeji Castle. I had fun at the bus festival. There were many different types of buses from many companies. I could go on some buses and sit down. Dad said he was surprised by how many "bus geeks" were there, some were so excited it was a little scary!
Afterwards, we went to the castle and had lunch under the trees.
