Day at the zoo

Jeff has the day off this Memorial Day.
We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo. (Entrance is free!)

Swimming Polar Bear.　He was doing laps. He would go round and round and push off with his legs on the wall, just like in the Olympics. We learned he can swim 6 miles/hr.

Gorillas were taking a nap. They like to cuddle when they nap, most were paired off in 2's.

Look!
Leopard on my hand!!

These are really rare HUMANS!!

We got to touch a snake at a reptile building.
She is holding the snake! Always rub head to tail, just like a dog. And never touch the head.

It was so fun!

Jeff was wearing a HIROSHIMA CARP (baseball team) uniform.
He looks Japanese more than me, ha?

Addendum: I've discovered Keiko really likes tigers, they seem to be her favorite animal. All they did was sleep, but we caught feeding time at the primate house which is always the most fun in my opinion.

don't eat us!

Happy Easter, everyone!

(These are Japanese easter eggs, my creation of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic)

Jeff is on the left, I'm on the right.

oops!

sewing machine

I received my birthday present from my family in-law.
I use to have one in Japan, but I couldn't carry it.
I love sewing. What a nice present!
Whoo, hoo!!!

☆smack☆


I tried to use it immediately.
It's going good.
Jeff wants to see a fancy stitch. I showed him.

Unfortunatery, manual has only English and Spanish.
I want Japanese!：）

JJ gets into mischief

JJ is studying how to sew the human body.

One day, I wanted to go for walk.
I put on my sneaker but I felt strange.

There were many laces, I thought.
(I never tie or untie my shoe laces.)


Check it out!

Oh, JJ!
He uses my shoes for his sewing/suturing practice!

lights

I've been here for 9months but I didn't know YOU were here.

Mr. and Mrs. Light!!!!

I couldn't imagine that there were lights on the bottom of the microwave. haha.
