Today we went to the Ara river to the east of Tokyo. Mari's organizing a river clean-up outing for her company, and wanted to do some scouting before the big day (in November). So we trekked out there with Mari's parents.
Kenny seemed to enjoy the wide open green spaces. I find it mildly tragic that such a place is a rarity for him.
Everyone had a nap when we came home. It's amazing that one small person can wipe out the energy from an unlimited number of adults.
