3 August 2009 Summer Fun

It’s been a very rainy summer here in Japan, but we still manage to go out to the neighborhood pool nearly every weekend. Genbo, especially, loves it. Playing in water in all its forms has to the pinnacle of fun for Genbo, even down to his favorite animals: dolphins and killer whales. When I bought an ocean nature DVD a couple years ago I was scared that perhaps the scene in which an orca kills some seals would traumatize him. Not only did it not phaze him then, but it’s now his favorite scene to watch. That, and the one where they kill a baby grey whale. Not sure what to think about that.

Zoe is more ambivalent. Sometimes she’ll play, but more often than not she’s content just to sit and watch. Here is a series of the former.
