Snowflake Lane♥

Every year in Downtown, there's a festive Parade called Snowflake Lane.

(It started about 10 years ago...and over the years it has become a huge event!)

It was so crowded...but the kids had fun♥

I carried Milo so he could see the parade.

We didn't have front row seats.

♥♥

We found a polar bear!

O boy...as soon as the parade was over, we were hit with a hailstorm.

Then the mall was just PACKED with every stroller waiting for the elevator.  

We decided to play at Macy's until the crowd died down...

O! and look what James found at the Amazon book store!

秋祭り♫

さぁ、甚平を着て出かけるよ～♥

ルカ、似合ってるよ！

ok! get your Jinbei on and let's go to the aki matsuri♫

おう、カイも似合ってるよ！

「お兄ちゃん、2人でちゃんと写真撮ろうよ！」

"c'mon big bro! let's take a picture together!"

秋祭りといっても、夏の暑さ！

再現。「こうやって取ったんだよ！」

カイが金魚すくいに夢中！

もちろん欲しがってたけど、金魚はNG.

持ち帰ってもどうすることもない！

ペットはまだまだ。

wild kai...!

he still doesn't like to wear hats... :(

やはり帽子をかぶるのが嫌いみたい。。。

近くの大学の「秋祭り」に参加！

went to the Japanese Aki Matsuri on Sunday.

Kai was just wild... running everywhere...touching everything...

seriously, a ball of energy...

金魚すくいあったよ！でも金魚捕ってもね～

飼う場所もないし。。。

あとこれ、水が入ってる風船！なんて言うんだっけコレ？

懐かしい！

そして何かのキャラクター。

何だろう。。。

and he got excited and ran straight to this character...

what's it supposed to be?

i have no idea...

from sunny to gloomy...

Sunny in Downtown Bellevue! 

More duckies and running around in the grass.

ダウンタウン・べルビュー。青空で暖かかった～

アヒルちゃんと遊んだり、走り回ったり。

Then gloomy and chilly in Downtown Seattle.

We were visiting for the Japanese cultural festival...

Not much was happening so we spent some time outside.

そして次の日はダウンタウン・シアトル。

温度の急激な低下！寒かった～

Constantly running around...

よく走ります。
