Greg Montoya's day off

Today was the first day of Greg's vacation. Technically it was yesterday but we didn't do anything interesting. So, officially today starts the vacation. We went to Urasoe City Park and finally found the playground. We've been before and were unable to find the actual playground. We had a nice walk through some dense forrest and saw a beautiful river, there were also a lot of stairs, but all of us were able to make it up them without much difficulty.  Greg attracted a very friendly butterfly who followed us for quite a bit of time. I was even able to get a video of it. We watched it at home and it looks like the butterfly is CGI'd into the movie. Hopefully you will be able to see it at the end of this post. Alright it didn't load so I've put up a picture of Greg and his other butterfly instead.

Once we arrived at the playground Gabriella got to work, choosing as her first activity a loop de loop rope crawl through. She was amazing, she only faltered once, Greg gave her the logistics of how to make it through the loop and she was home free. She also got to check out the small train and the slides. There was also a tether ball like swing which she liked a lot, if we had a tree here I would definitely get her one.  

After the park we headed back near home to ride the Ferris Wheel.  We've been wanting to ride this attraction since we've arrived. Although it was cloudy we still enjoyed the view. We were able to see our house and pirate ship park. There was also a festival going on called Laugh and Peace, so we got a birds eye view of the festivities.  After our ride we went for sushi at the sushi go round. Greg and I tried some delicious octopus and Gabriella devoured her shrimp tempura roll. Greg and I also tried some flamed crab and scallops, there were delicious. Gabriella actually tried the crab and seemed to enjoy it. She also got to pick her dessert from the conveyor belt. She choose some apple juice and yogurt milk.  We got home and she went right up for her nap. It was a fun day. Although I think tomorrow may be better.
