Day Five - Fun with Bees...and a Movie!















So this will be mostly pictures and little writing - we decided to have a more quiet day since yesterday was kind of busy. We started with breakfast, mmmmm pancakes!

Then Kanta shared some more presents with us! Too nice to us :) We love the shirts and the other beautiful presents. We put the Samurai warriors up on our mantle so that everyone can see. The kids especially loved the beautiful gifts from Japan, and I loved the delicious food!

Next Gabby, Kanta, and I went out to work with the bees. We all put on our bee suits - I think Kanta was a little nervous because he didn't know what to expect, but once he got used to the bees he was just fine. The bees have been busy this summer, so we had to put on some extra boxes - which means we should get lots of good honey this year. Kanta helped us with the smoke (the smoke calms the bees, and he helped us check the hive frames to see how the bees are doing inside the hive. Then he helped as we cleaned the hives and put the extra boxes on, and he even held a bee on his hand - with a glove of course!

They spent the afternoon playing games, and then this evening we went to see a movie. We saw Harry Potter - in 3D! I don't know that Kanta understood much of the dialog in the movie, but it had plenty of action so I think he really enjoyed it. He and Kendall wore their very cool shirts together. What a fun day!
