I took the family to revisit the squirrel park. We had lots of fun feeding the squirrels and other animals again, and I think we will be going there a bit more often now.

For this years Girls Day, we made sushi balls again along with the three color roll cake.

Every year my house makes homemade miso…

Mix the boiled soy beans, salt, and fermented rice

Make them into balls

Chuck them into the wooden barrel for a whole year of fermenting

We didnt get very much snow where we live this year, so we decided to go take a trip up to the mountains for some snow play. We took the bullet train up to JyouetsuKokusai for a two day trip. They have a hotel right on the mountain and very large snow play and sledding areas for kids.

My girl is 4 now. We had a small birthday party with cakes and presents at the house. She got a big box of building block, a magnifying glass, and some other small toys.

My girls made me some amazing sweets for Valentines day
