Visit to Futagami Island

On the invitation of a friend of Yukari, we visited Futagami Island yesterday. We got to take a fishing boat over to the island. Hikaru and Noah had a great time playing in the ocean. Hikaru got a special bonus of diving for sazae (top shells). The waters where the sazae were located were just shallow enough that Hikaru was able to dive under and get one all by himself. As an added bonus, he picked up a live starfish as well.

Futagami Island has very small population of only a few hundred, and there are only 3 elementary school kids (all from the same family). Hikaru had such a good time that he kept talking about coming over to Futagami Island for the next school year (4th grade).

I didn't take any pictures of the in-the-water-action, but here are some photos from the day.
