I Swear I'm Stealing One

These are my three favorite little girls ever. Yesterday the international community in Kure had a sports day, which consisted of relays, vollyball, and basketball in the gym at the Coast Guard training center. We did an egg race, a three legged race, a jump rope race, human wheelbarrels, etc. I forgot how hard human wheelbarrels are. Julie picked up my legs, and I belly flopped on the gym floor. Anyway, the little girl on the top of the pyramid is my host sister, Kanon. I hang out with her and her mom, Maya, about once every two weeks or so. On the bottom left is Aoi, whose English is almost better than most of the Japanese teachers I work with. On the right is Sare, who is a bit of a tomboy, but loves hugs and jumping really high in the air. haha. So the day was a blast... afterwards we went to California 101, a pizza place near the gym. The pizza was not the highlight of the day. The kids definitely were.
