Bowling

My Auntie and Uncle were so sweet to include a present for the kids in a box of fun things they sent me last week for my birthday and Easter. The kids went nuts over this mini-bowling set where the pins are little ducks. Their mom saw it on a shelf in my living room before I even brought it out, and she screeched "Kawaii!!!" Kawaii is a word that you get to know quickly when you live in Japan because it applies to almost everything. It means "cute". The game was a huge hit and occupied the kids for at least an hour. We moved my dining room table and let them go crazy in the tatami room on the rug. Thanks, Auntie and Uncle!
