Fall in the Park

We have been spending a lot of afternoons up walking around or feeding the ducks and carp in Takamatsu no Ike Park. On Saturday, we took advantage of a break in the typhoon rain to go wander the park as well. Here are some photos of us playing in the park… 

Brownie-making interlude...

We went back to the park after school on Halloween with some friends and were excited to see that the first of the Whooper swans had arrived!

Haruto taught Catie to feed the ducks by hand

deep thoughts on the dock

yoga???

 

We had a great leaf fight under one of the maples :-)

Haruto & Catie didn't want Ichika to feel left out.

Haruto- armed and dangerous!!!

It's been fun and interesting to watch different birds visit the pond during their seasonal migration. In addition to the Whooper swans, we've recently seen a lot of these Northern Pintails (left) and Eurasian wigeons (big, brown headed duck on the right).
