The Aquarium

This place is so cool!!
My favorite thing about the aquarium: The stingrays and the "poop-my-pants fish"...see below for details
Chris' favorite thing about the aquarium: Me freaking out over all of the cool fish!


This is the "poop-my-pants fish". Aka "really old large fish that I would poop my pants if I saw it in the ocean while snorkeling b/c it's so freakin' big" fish.

 This fish probably deserved his own post haha

Eel...see below...what a creeper!

Lobster??--->

                                                                               Bat fish??--->

    These little eels just poke outta the sand!

 Stingrays!! Wheee!! They looked so happy just flyin' around the tank

Sea roaches=nasty. Eww gross!

Thank goodness these live super deep in the ocean!

We still feel fortunate every day to live in such a cool place... these pics are from our apartment or within a block of the apartment. Just everyday things :)

My first roller slide park!

Time to add a lot more posts!! I know,  I know,  I'm bad haha ;)

Chris took me up to a really cool park that's just a couple miles from our house... there's a walking path and cool stuff to play on! Japan hasn't gotten the message on dangerous play equipment yet...thank goodness!! My sister Shannon will be so excited to see this stuff in person one day!! Some of you may know this already, but Shannon and I have always been on a constant mission to find teeter totters in parks and any other cool play equipment...guess we still haven't grown up yet :)

The coolest roller slide ever!!!

 Always interesting signs :)

コース=kosu (with a long o sound). So it means 'course'!  This is a 1km course :) The word 'course' is used here all the time for 'path' or sometimes even in context with 'trail' or a lane on a track.
