[Life in Japan Theme Song]

We're stopping by at Paul and Pri's place

They're going to follow us in their own car

And we're going to go to Enoshima to have a fun day on this holiday! Come along!

Hi Joey! Hi Big guy!

Yeah! Are you ready to go? Give a High Five to uncle Nate.

Are you ready? High five! Yes! Alright!

Are we going to have so much fun today? Oh good, good, good, good, good, good

Look at Leopard Luiza — hi!

What a cutie!

Oh my goodness, let's go have some fun? Yeah!

Oh, I remember having to do this. It wasn't that long ago.

No- one time we went to the States and all of them were in this 5 point [car seat]

The only thing about holidays is holiday traffic.

It's red — very red.

But, we'll get there.

So we made a very necessary stop for coffee. And what do you think, Ruth?

Re-Coffee, first time. Super delicious.

Super-duper de-lish.

Can I taste it? Uh uh.

Why? I need it all.

It's Momma-chan's

Fuji san! And Becca singing.

Hello! Hello, hello! Well, hello! What's happening there, Mr J?

Car!

We made it Sarah. What are you excited to see today? Fish.

Fish! Me too, fish!

Here they come!

Oh my goodness! Do you guys want to go swim? Yea.

Swim? It would be so cold today!

That is cool, huh? Yea

Wow. Joey, do you see Mt Fuji?

Do you see Mt Fuji out there? It's so big!

Here we go — going in!

Oh, do we see the fish in there? Yea, look at that one.

Oh, they're cool, they're awesome. They're swimming around!

Look at the poor one — look at the poor one that can't swim.

There's one that can't swim? Yea, right there.

He's swimming!!

Look at those huge snail— ah‚ snails?

In the shells — see them walking over there?

Look Joey Joey, look! Whoa!

Where's the fish? You wanna show Da Da? Where's the fish?

This is cousin Joey's first time at an aquarium, yea!

Do you see right there? There's one that's camouflaged.

Oh, a camouflaged one down there? Yea see, look.

Look Nate, all the eels poking out!

Oh, you're right! Those are weird!

What are those crazy—it's like a shoal of fish or something?

Why's it all together? That's the way they like to go.

It's just here the whole time. See! They like you.

Whoa Dude, the stingray likes you — I think.

It's too scary!

Look at all the fish! There come the fish!

Oohhh! Let's go down! There they went.

Wow, cool!

Look, it's like a big Christmas tree down there. Do you see that? In the water?

Becca, please let Joey push.

Do you see the fish? Where's the fish?

Where are they? Show Uncle Nate.

Where's the fish, Sarah? What did you do with them?

Right here. They might not be in here.

Yes they are! They are?

Oh, they're tiny little ones, aren't they?

You guys look like your'e in the ocean!

Oh there's another Lion fish, huh? Oh, no it's not.

Is that a good place for a picture?

Joshua, look!

Stay right there — stay looking!

Here they come, perfect timing!

Perfect timing!

Whoa! Yeah!

Whoa guys. This is the biggest of all the tanks, huh?

Did we find the Jellyfish, Dude? Look at all those fish! Oh! Jellyfish!

Whose over there?

Sarah!

Are you swimming with the Jellyfish?

Look over here! Look, come right here.

Look, it's Joshua.

Well he disappeared. Where'd he go?

Oh there he is!

Look girls, we found the Jellyfish.

Those are some of your favorites, right?

Becca, you're so big!

Becca's huge! Sarah too.

I like that thing.

Are Jellyfish maybe your favorite, Anna?

Maybe. It's just so satisfying to watch it.

Very satisfying.

You can touch it. You can?! Is there water?

That's crazy! Stinks — the water stinks.

Daddy, if we touch this side— like

If we touch, uh, like this side we won't get hurt,

but if we touch like this part on the inside then we're going to get hurt.

Is that how it works? I don't know — maybe.

Yea, you wouldn't want to get hit by those stingers, that's for sure.

Why, what's going to happen?

Why? Because it hurts like crazy!

This is what Momma usually does in the aquariums, huh?

It's too much movement in there. Oh?

All the things falling, and the things falling is making me nauseous. Yikes.

I don't know if there's a weird frequency in there, but it gave me an instant headache when I walked in.

What did you find, Sarah? A Statue Fish!

A Statue fish? He doesn't move, huh?

Eat me for lunch!

We found some penguins, huh?

That guys just chillin'.

Well they go one way and they come back upside down

Well, what would you do if you were in a cage like this?

Yea, they go that way upside down and that way up front.

Wow! And they flip.

Whoa! Look at the size of those turtles!

Look at Mt Fuji. Beautiful today!

That one has a tail.

OK- it's a quick lunch break!

When you have a family this size, you gotta buy a lot of lunch. Right?

And you need a lot of seats, don't you?

Yes. Yes.

There's the island out at Enoshima. If we have time, we're going to go there later.

Here we are, we're just hanging out. Mommy.

And Daddy—no, me.

That's you?! Yea.

And Daddy.

And Sarah and Anna and Becca.

Are we just hanging out, waiting for the dolphin show to start?

Ah! Did you see that, Dude? He was waving!

He was waving.

Was he waving? Yeah, he was waving.

Ah! Did you see that, Dude?

Yeah, that was fun.

Whoa, that was big! That was big.

Are they talking?

That was cool.

Joshua, did you see them flip through the air? Did a huge somersault?

Do you think you could do that? No?

No. I need to be... Oh my goodness.

I need to be higher... jumping. Oh yea?

I need to be so high jumping — and then I need to jump so high to do that.

Do you see that Sarah? It's called a Capybara.

There's a really big ship, huh Dude?

Very cool. Wow!

So when it's underwater, it can get all kinds of stuff.

What do you think guys? If it were one person in there, would you want to be that person?

Don't Joshua. No thank you.

Yes. Whoa, that's cool, huh?

I mean no! If someone's going to go with me, then yes.

What are you doing, Anna?!

OK let's go guys? Oh! There's Becca over there.

Anna, do you see what we're going to do? Yea.

Do you guys see what we're going to do? No!

(Ruth speaking Japanese)

One thousand, 4 [hundred Yen]

So we're going to take a ferry from here to the island, I believe

And then we'll climb up the island and walk back.

Joshua, you look all set with your vest on!

Here comes the boat we're going to take to go over there.

When was the last time you were on a boat, girls?

Um, in Brazil.

No, we did it in Japan, remember?

Here we go guys!

OK go! This is scary!

Here we go! Are we ready, guys?

Whew hoo! Oh yes!

Oh fun fun fun fun

It's so hisashiburi (such a long time) going on a boat like this.

It is hisashiburi going on a boat.

You'll be able to see plenty.

Alright guys!

Here we go!

Sarah! Is it fun? Yea.

Aw, cool!

And my beautiful Anna-cakes! Fun?

Becster, yes?

We need to go off now?

Let's go!

Whoa, look at this! My goodness.

Green green moss there, huh? My goodness.

What an interesting way to disembark, huh guys?

Look!

OK let's go!

I didn't get any wet from there.

That's good! He did not get wet.

I'm glad you didn't.

Look at this! This is wild.

Look at this! My goodness!

This would be fun to explore in the summer a little bit.

The climbing's about to start here.

This is a major incline here.

Heading up. Lots of stairs to go up now.

I don't have any water. We'll have to find a place that sells water.

What can we have?

Need a drink on the way here.

Is this Kirin right here good?

These little shops along the way are pretty cool.

OK, let's keep walking. OK let's go!

Head on up!

It's quite the stairway here.

Becca — do you see it? Please be an elevator!

Yea, we're almost there.

We're not there yet. We have to go down and go up a little bit more.

Japan hat. There's a lot of cool souvenirs here.

The Plum blossoms are starting to come out.

Up here? No.

This trail just goes on and on.

Are these the last steps? Did we make it to the top, guys?

Can you show me the tickets? Let me see. Oh cool.

Alright, we got our tickets. Daddy got his, let's go in!

Oh my goodness! Ticket, Nate.

They look fake. They're not fake.

Look at these. I want to take some pictures. Can I have your phone?

Yeah. Because I think your phone will do a better job than mine.

You can't "have" Daddy's phone, you can borrow Daddy's phone.

Take my mask off? Take your mask off.

Mommy, can you see Anna?

Oh- I see Anna. Hi, Anna!

I'm holding her, can you see me?

I can't see you at all. Oh my goodness.

That's how you're doing it, huh?

Oh my goodness, that was cool. Wait until you see what it looks like.

OK, now all of you around there. Right there where Sarah is.

Photo shoot time.

OK, get in there with them!

One, two, Sarah!

Becca, you look terrified.

Don't look terrified, Becster! One, Two, Three—smile Sarah!

OK

This is going to be really cool if we wait until a little bit later. Won't it?

Look at that!

OK

Can I smell them, Mommy?

Yea, don't touch, just smell.

Mommy, take a picture!

Are you smelling the Tulips? How do they smell?

I can't smell anything. You can't smell anything?

Oh look at the tiny little garden.

We're finally there!

Look what we're finally close to!

You can see to the top.

Here we go — we're going to get in the elevator to go up!

Have fun This is so big.

OK, we're going up guys.
