it’s been so crowded recently but for some reason, it was totally empty when Mateus and i paddled out. it felt weird to have the ocean to ourselves. but hey, i’ll take it…such a bummer the kids are out of school for the past month, and who knows how much longer. i guess it’s a good time to spend time with family and enjoy the outdoors. i’m loving this time because i needed to slow down and do things like this more often. i just love this kind of quality time… i’m still trying to get Mateus more comfortable in the ocean. he’s confident in the pool, but the ocean is another thing. hopefully that day will come soon…but for now, Uncle Kirby will take you surfing anytime and every time you want. love you little boy!Masae-san staying home and making strawberry candy! omg, i want one! and Seira-chan staying home and making strawberry cheese cake! looks so delicious…and now that Seira-chan can’t surf, she’s farming with her family. such a cool thing growing your own food and eating it. that’s the best lifestyle…and Toda-san with the perfect views of Mt. Fuji. thank you guys for staying home and can’t wait to see you when this is all over…
