Katie and Abby made friends with 2 girls who live in our building. Both families came from Iceland a year ago, but are not related. Lena is 9 years old and plays with Katie. Franney is 7 years old and plays with Abby. They take turns going to each others apartments. They also go to the same school as Abby and Franney is even in the same class.
These videos are of our latest trip to Sakura Park. Franney (yellow shirt) and Abby (green shirt) are playing Frisbee. Lilly is playing in the sandbox and Katie is riding her scooter on the sidewalk around the park. I took a picture of the entrance sign but it did not come out very clear. I will try and get a better one. The park is named for the Japanese word for cherry tree. The trees were a gift to the United States from Japan and were planted in this park.
The last picture is of a tour bus. They go past all the time. The people sit on top which is open and take pictures of everything. I nthe summer a man stands in front of Sakura Park and the buses stop and he sells bottled water to the tourists. He has quite a successful business.
