Sakura in full bloom

We arrived here in Japan just in time to see cherry blossoms in full bloom. Mako and Yuzuki came to pick us up for a lovely picnic and play this afternoon.



The best time of the year to visit Japan!



This park is just 5 min drive from our place and we used to go there as a family when we were very small. It is so nice to be able to take my own kids there to share the same experiences!

The slide was very popular:



Oliver:





Who is having fun!?



Yuzuki and Luca (Yuzuki cut her chin open a few weeks ago, that's why she has the mask on her chin if you are wondering... Just like Oliver she had 7 stitches):



This slide needs something under your bottom to go faster, without one it is quite difficult to go down... or maybe not too suitable for a heavily pregnant person...?



We walked down to a different park by a lake. I just couldn't stop taking photos - just too beautiful!









The sad thing is that these beautiful flowers won't last long... The forecast for the coming week is wind and rain... I hope Matthew will get here before they are all gone!
