Fridays are usually field trip days, so yesterday the kids and I (and another mom and her 2-yr old) ventured to the outskirts of Tokyo to visit a park we had read about online. The trip was over an hour and the train fare was quite staggering but it WAS a cool park! The entire park was covered in old tires, with sculptures of tires and big concrete slides that you could ride tires down, plus piles of tires that you could climb on. We spent over 2 hours there but just as were getting read to leave, Jamie slipped on the slide (kids, this is why you shouldn't climb UP slides!) and he crushed 2 fingers on his left hand so bad that I was concerned they may be broken (they swelled up immediately). So off we went to the english clinic in Yokohama (since we were already near Tokyo, this was on the way home) and while I was there I also had Tristan's cough checked out (he had been developing a croupy cough and I was concerned that it may get worse and I'd be heading back to the clinic). So with 2 consultations, an x-ray, and some steroids for Tristan, we headed back home for the end of what turned out to be a very long day! And no, Jamie did not break his fingers, they were just jammed and bruised badly. Here's our pictures from the park:

That is a really cool park! You guys are having the best experiences.
It's almost like lego land but instead tire land. The pics were worth the train fare :)
