Hiroshima Trip

We grabbed another opportunity to visit Hiroshima- John had some work to attend to so Aiko and the kids had an extended stay with the Kawanaka clan.









This also meant that Archie could meet up with all his old friends from the park- or maybe that was Aiko!! Poor old Archie- rather out numbered by women!


It maybe spring in Hiroshima but out in the sticks with Aiko's Gran it was a bit colder- Nice Body Warmer Great Gran!!







On the slide at Kaita Koen















You see it was quite a social visit for Aiko- She managed a day trip to Yamaguchi to see her best friend Rie who's recently also had a baby boy....who is massive.


Whilst at Rie's Aiko visited her old manager who, with her husband has set up their own bread shop.

Kodomonokuni

Well spring was almost here so we thought we'd head off to Kodomonokuni for a day out- hopefully to tire Archie out a bit. As luck would have it there was a free make your own windmill event that Archie joined. They were a bit worried about what language to speak but soon realised that it didn't matter Archie wasn't listening anyway.

After all that 'fan' we went on the slide and then onto the pedloes- pretty tiring and a bit cramped for the 4 of us!!

Jump Jump

Ok so the game is quite simple...all you have to do is jump!! Archie thought this was great fun but there were a few mums who looked quite concerned about their children following suit and there were a few minor tumbles.

As you can see Archie thought it was all good fun and was pretty pleased with himself.

Dad thinks that pose has 'Come on England' all over it!!!

AJ & Millie

Few more shots from the Henington Family love in- Millie is really quite a sweety apart from all the screaming and lack of sleep she causes time to time. Generally Archie is still the doting Big Bro- so far so good!
