On Easter Sunday while Ray was on the road, I asked my friend Angie to join me at an Easter celebration organized by some of the foreign teachers on the northern end of the lake. Angie, accompanied by her youngest son Kosei, met me on the train and we travelled up to Nagahama. When we arrived, the sun was out and even begged us to show bare arms! It felt nice to have a warm day...
The teachers were throwing this event as an outreach fundraiser for the disaster and did a remarkable job at organizing it. They had a BBQ, baked goods, easter egg hunt, face painting, and even brought the Bunny himself! As you can see, my little ones weren't too excited about the rather large, scary looking bunny. Kosei, on the other hand, is just old enough to appreciate the bunny's big hug...
We didn't want to pass up the photo op of making the little ones look like small bunnies, right?
At the sake of my dearest little babes, they posed like champs, lured by the appeal of the plastic eggs in the lawn... commercialism at its finest...
And as the last photo was taken, it was like the clouds stole the sun and opened up on us a downpour! Hail, wind and RAIN! We took a wet walk back through the park, past Nagahama Castle, and to the train...

These pictures turned out so great! Kousei and I loved our day (couple hours) with you. Thanks so much for inviting us!! Love you!!!
Truly sweet faces, all of you. ;) And I love seeing a bit of Bainbridge! We are so connected, always. Sending big bunny hugs and lots of care as you navigate a transition once again. I'll be on this side with open, loving arms.
The face paint reminds me of the pic of you when you were a "ghost bunny" for Halloween as a little kid.
Cute series. I can't believe how big "the babes" are getting.
The first and the last photo are my fave ;) Your family is adorable and your blog is so inspiring! You guys are doing some fabulous work there. Very cool!
