thank you to the Tanaka-san family for amazing snacks! yeah, somen!!! 
and thank you to the Koutaki-san family for the dental care. i promise i’ll brush and floss 2x daily!
and thank you to the Aida-san family for the treats. i have no idea what’s in these boxes but i’m looking forward to opening it and trying it all! 
Jun-kun is a 16 year old kid that goes to school in Canada. i was talking to him in English yesterday and he understood everything! 
and he understood exactly what to do when i yelled “stand up!!!” 
it was Jun-kun’s first time surfing and i’m sure not his last… he looked like he was having a blast…
it must be a Fathers dream to be able to surf with his son. that’s cool to see more and more dreams coming true. glad you finally got to surf with your son Hattori-san! 
cool relationship and great memory guys! 
Seira-chan is so smart that i can just explain a few things on the beach and she will go out and do it exactly. i told her to put more weight on the back foot when she wants to turn. exactly like this! 
and i don’t have to tell her to be calm and relax anymore because she is more calm and relaxed than me. haha. 
Seira-chan just turned 20 years old. that’s becoming an adult in Japan so she’s in a different world now. her dreams just got bigger too and i’m looking forward to seeing all of them coming true…
as for us teenage boys. we took a spin in the Speedster and were laughing like little kids. thank goodness the police didn’t pull us over. haha. i was just out showing Oshima-san how much of a kid i am, and now i saw the kid in him too. maybe that’s why we get along so well. haha…
