Aichi Bokujo
Aichi Bokujo is a working farm in Nagoya. They produce their own milk, make butter, scrumptious ice cream, and other things.
When I found out Nagoya had a farm that we could visit, I was thrilled! The girls and I love animals and miss driving down the road looking at cows, horses, and other Texas critters.They have quite a few milking cows and lots of calves. The calves are very friendly, and the girls got to pet several. They have a pony ride area, and both times we have gone, the girls have ridden Frankie. Frankie is a pony. They have a beautiful, white horse, but Frankie is our speed :)
They give professional riding lessons, and have several horses boarded on the farm. I think our favorite part was the petting area. They have VERY FRIENDLY ducks and bunnies. Deer and peacocks that are carefully guarded by a white rooster. A sweet and gentle donkey always begging to be fed.Sheep and adorable lambs, who are quite photogenic. Greedy, greedy goats (keep your hands and feet in at all times).
This little boy kept chasing Izzy, and when he caught her, he would just hug her.
A Blessed Day
Everything was perfect, except Daddy wasn't there to share it with us.
An impromptu hug
Gracie actually did this without prompting, rolling her eyes, or griping - what a moment!
Our friend Ai and the girls
Ai works at the Tokyu, but spent her day off with us - such a giving person!
More concession food
Hot dogs on a stick, corn dogs, chicken, pork, and a few mysteries :)
Eggs on a stick!
Some of the food at the concession stand at the zoo.
Water Park
Park where the 2005 World Expo was held.
Daddy bought us snowcones!
...need we say more?
Pizza Delivery
Our big joke is that so many of the cars seem like something from "Who-ville."
Yuck!
This is our menu (after we ate!)
Antarctica Ship
We haven't gone on this yet. It has actually traveled to Antarctica, and it's hard to see, but has a helicopter on the back. The girls and I are looking forward to taking a tour of it :)
Sophie and the dolphin
This is one of my favorite pictures!
Silly faces!
Yet, they still look adorable!
My blue-eyed girl (for today)
My girls all got the Michelle-trade-mark eyes that change depending on our mood. Today, they were a gorgeous blue!
Ship in the port
The girls and I were looking at this beautiful ship when Princess Kiko and her entourage showed up.
Nagoya Port
This year marks its 100th anniversary. That is a walkway where the arches are.
Ku and his dolphin buddy
Ku and this little dolphin appear to be best buddies. The little dolphin does everything Ku does. If Ku swims upside down, he does, too.
