At home in Spring

Kawagoe

In the weekend of April 12 we went for a daytrip to Kawagoe. This town is famous for having a lot of Edo period buildings and also for a festival.



The festival is so famous that it has its own museum, where you can see the festival floats and performing arts.






The highlight for Hanna was finding a neighbourhood park with a swing.

Spring

After a weeks cold rain, this weekend I had a real feelling that Spring is arriving. On Saturday I took Hanna to Shinjuju Goen park and let Rika go shopping.

We could see plum blossom and early-blooming Sakura









It is still cold, and Hanna likes to be carried around under my jacket.

Dancing with Dad

Sometimes I come home from work and straight into "Disco time".


Hanna likes to have a dance with Dad and has recently begun asking me to put on some music when she wants a 'boogie', and saying "more, more" when each track finishes.






She also likes running around the sofa (or being chased) to lively music like "Libertango".


This is me dancing a tango with Hanna.


And a quick tango at 8am before heading off to work.
