Melina is 3! Pictures
My little girl is 3 years old!
For Melina’s 3rd birthday, both Suzuna and I made birthday cakes. She made a healthy macrobiotic strawberry cake, and I made a dairy-free American style strawberry cake. Melina just ate the strawberries off both cakes.
On a particularity nice Sunday we decided to take a drive to Soileyu seaside park as we heard there are lots of things for kids to play on. The yellow flowers were in full bloom, we rode the Ferris wheel, played on the jungle gyms and slides, and went down the sledding slope.
Everyone enjoyed this years Setsubun sushi and bean throwing party again this year. The lucky direction was south-south-south-east and Melina was able to eat a whole sushi roll all by herself.
Same French restaurant for Suzuna’s birthday again this year.

Unlike the small local one we visited last year, this year we went to the Dondoyaki festival in Kanazawa-bunko to see the big bonfire where all the new years decorations are burnt. We also got some good festival foods and enjoyed the beach a little while we were there.
For this years trip back to LA we decided to go on a road trip to the Grand Canyon.
Highlights were:
-Out of Africa Wildlife Park
-Sedona
-Meteor Crator
-Grand Canyon
-Antelope Canyon hiking
-Horseshoe bend
-Zion National Park
-Las Vegas
