"When are you going to make it, dad?"
My daughter, Hikari has been asking me about it since long time ago.
"OK, I'll do it tonight. Let's make it together."
Then I decided to do it with my daughter and son and started.
First of all we have to prepare the fruits for it, oranges, banana, peach, apple, yogurt and honey.

"A Happy New Year" from Yamamoto family
In Japan most Japanese go to Shrine at the beginning of new year to pray our health, good future and something else.
Today we also went to Shirahama Shrine.We didn't have a strong wind and a little warm here in Shimoda.
There were some cars in the shrine's parking lot.
After praying we took a photo of ourselves in front of shrine building.
I think that we are very happy because we are keeping our health.
I show you a photo of my wife and me in the following page.
It was sunny in Shimoda today.
When I was cleaning in the building it was very hot and broke out the sweat on my forehead.
When I went out for shopping I took this picture near the beach.
The water was blue and clear.
I wanted to swim today if I didn't have to work.
We are very busy every day in summer, so we can't go to the beach though we live near the beach.
Today we had a chance that we can go to the beach.
After I finished my job we went to the beach with them.
The water became very warm and was really clear!
My children were able to play in the water and they had a great time on the beach today.
Hello, how are you everybody?
We are very busy everyday, but we all are very fine.
This summer my daughters help us at the dinner time.
It is a big help for us, because they work very well.
"OK! Let's go to buy icecream!"
Today it was Sunday and my children didn't go to the school.
It was holiday for my children and they might had been relaxed, but my son Yuuki was boring and asked us to play with him.
So I decided to go to the super market to buy the icecream and we ate it on the beach.
It was sunny and hot today.
That's why the icecream made my children happy!!
