Annual Hanami at Umi no nakamichi

We went to Umi no Nakamichi for our annual Hanami (cherry blossom viewing). We go every year. When Mommy and Daddy had a final staycation before I was born and took pictures among the cherry blossoms. Since then we have made a trip back every year to track my growth.

This year I once again rode in the wagon instead of walking or using a stroller. When you are going to have a picnic this is the best way to travel.

I was big enough to pull the wagon this year so I took the opportunity to haul it around when every I could (and when all the stuff was unloaded from it). It was a lot of fun driving the wagon.

Daddy packed a lunch for us and the main dish was of course Spam musubi. I had three whole Spam musubi along with other food. It was a very yummy picnic!

After I finished eating I went off to play with the wagon again while Mommy and Daddy kept eating.

We then of course had to take our obligatory cherry blossom pictures.

Then we headed off to the playground and I was more than happy to pull the wagon.

At the playground I was very excited to go down the big roller slide again.

And again.

And again.

I explored other parts of the playground too, but the big roller slide was my favorite.

After all that it was snack time! We stopped by the park cafe and I got a nemophila ice cream. Nemophila are these pretty baby blue flowers, often referred to as “baby blue eyes”, that grow in the park. It was a strange color ice cream but tasted very good! I couldn’t eat all of it, especially after my three Spam musubis at lunch, but I ate a good amount.

After that we headed home and I dozed off. It was quite an exciting day.
