Mt. Eboshi

We headed out to Mt. Eboshi sports village on Sunday. Mt. Eboshi in a way is right outside of Sasebo. They tout a large "sports village" close to the top.

Checking out the koi fish and a turtle. The park was extremely busy. It was a nice weekend for once so everyone was out enjoying the weather. At the village you can rent roller blades and unicycles. You can jump in a ball pit, ride tons of "funny bikes", play on a playground, sled, etc. It was lots of fun.

This picture is for our friend Yuno. When Yuno moved down the street from us in Hawaii she had a unicycle. She couldn't get over that noone in the US had one and we couldn't get over that she naturally had one!

This is a grass hill for skiing. Right now though it is obviously not in use!

A slide you would never see in the US! Very high and steep!

There comes Ben...

They have a little sand area and that is actually where we spent most of our time.


The babies take after their big brother - they love sand!


They were soooo dirty afterwards but so happy!

You could pay a few bucks and for a half an hour ride all different types of bikes. Next time we are going to check that area out.

Ben chose to ride in the speedy car with daddy.

Of course he had a blast. I think this kid thinks he is 16 and can already drive!

I thought this machine was funny. You could get a hot lunch to go. I'm sure it is quite tasty!

Ben sledding. Awhile back he burned his ankle on one of these hills and has been very apprehensive about going again. Luckily Grant got him to go and now he is back to enjoying it. The boy on the right in the bottom picture was treating him like a little brother. He would help him out, get his sled for him, etc. It was pretty neat.
