last year, i taught Dai-kun how to fish. he actually caught a fish that day and seemed so excited. this is the photo i took a year ago with Dai-kun’s first fish. ever since then, Dai-kun went back to japan and got hooked on fishing. he bought a fishing pole and lures and goes often on fishing expeditions.

this year, Dai-kun brought his fishing pole to hawaii and has been fishing all around the place. look at this papio he caught the other day! the papio is a very prized trophy fish here in hawaii. good job Dai-kun! i’m proud of you. keep on fishing.

then we went snorkeling the other day with Dai-kun and the Koguma-san family. felt so good to jump in the water.

Dai-kun told his father that he wants to go spearfishing with me. first, he has to learn how to free dive. maybe next year we can go spearfishing?

then Lena-chan took a dive and i was amazed how deep she could go. she seemed so comfortable under water and i’m pretty sure after some practice, she will be able to dive pretty deep.

then Koguma-san jumped in the blue water. stoked to see father, daughter, and son enjoying the ocean in beautiful hawaii.

this is a cool photo of Lena-chan. it was her first free dive and it looked like she was enjoying being a mermaid for the day.
