Imperfect fishing; 5th YUKAWA

I've been getting well from severe backache at my wife's parents house. And could go fishing today after over 2 months interval. It was too long for me. Destination is my favorite YUKAWA. Let me see superb brookie again, please.

Could get up before 4AM, took shower, and left home 4:17AM.

5:34 arrived there as scheduled.

5:52 waiting for the opening

after finishing all fishing preparation including wearing wader.

6:06 Hello there!

6:12 first fish was HONMASU.

Caught 4 HONMASU today as total.

6:17 first brookie!! I missed you a lot.

6:38 Who are you?

I'm nice colored over 40 rainbow.

Must be escapee from YUNOKO lake located in upper.

7:55 4th brookie loved stimulator.

9:14 today's best brookie to conclude.

10:47 I thought I could catch better fish from now. 

11:22 sudden thunder and shower.

Unfortunately I didn't have any rain wear today...

So went back to the parking lot.

Good job, new repaired rod! You caught 12 fishes today.

But I would like you to see more nice brookies, I think.

I gave up fishing here YUKAWA because of bad weather and bad preparation.

Just a kind of imperfect combustion...

Berry berry berry

We call my wife's parents' house 'Berry house'.

Raspberry, blueberry and blackberry.

Younger daughter likely liked picking them just as her sister did. 

But it might be too young to be picked, sugar...

Lovely cute hands.

Having rain in the morning.

Older daughter is waiting for the sunny to play outside.

HANABI

is a pastime that gives poetic charm to prime summer in Japan. Have fun, sweetie.

Beggining of summer vacation

Because of my heavy backache, I've been on the bed first two days of summer vacation. Just terrible... 

Today my wife was only a driver to her parents house instead of useless Lance... Thanks a lot, honey!

 At her parents house, fresh black berry drink welcomed us. Please give me a luck for the rest of vacation.

Just for cooling off

Let's head for the river just for cooling off, girls.

The riverside always makes us not only cooled but also relaxed.

Give me a beer, please!!

Just seeing the blue summer sky, precious time.

Younger daughter woke up and began to play with her sister.

Come here again, sweetie and sugar!

MATSURI; Part2

After carrying MIKOSHI, kids including older daughter joined the festival.

Did you like it?

I liked it.

NATSUMATSURI

She was looking at her older sister who joined carrying portable shrine(MIKOSHI).
 Yeah, NATSUMATSURI(Summer festival) today.

Welcome back!

My broken rod was back from US through kawkoi-san. Welcome back here!

Not only the broken tip but also the other parts looks like all brand-new.

Great thanks, kawkoi-san. It is time, Lance. Time for what?

Last Day in Hawaii

It was cloudy this morning, and we had sometimes rain today.

Gone for breakfast.

ACAI bowl, good to eat!

We enjoyed shopping after breakfast.

Fishing hook for my older daughter, and Sea turtle for me. Please give us a good luck!

Arrived at Ala Moana Beach. Very hard to find the parking space...

Nice beach, so close to Waikiki.

Had a fun dinner time.

It was nice trip for us all. Would like to come again.

Kailua Beach and North Shore

3rd day's morning, I walked to the rental car office.Good morning exercise,

but it was already over 2hours behind schedule because of late riser...

Rent a car means no beer your lunch time, Lance.

Looks so good, guys.

We loves the burger!

Kailua beach, it was hard to find the parking space.

But definitely worth to visit. So beautiful beach.

Enjoyed swimming very much.

We had sometimes rain today. But it gave us the double rainbows!

Drove to the north shore. Awesome location, mother nature itself.

Sea turtle, we all were so excited!!

It was only one at that time there. We must be so lucky.

She was likely busy for feeding seaweed.

Sunset itself was a little prevented

See you soon, be careful.

Tonight, we all have each drink for celebration.

Drink a toast for our first wild sea turtle and great nature of Hawaii.

Hawaii; in the evening of 2nd day

During our younger daughter's nap, they went to the nail shop.

Looks nice both of you, honey and sweetie.

Another beach of Waikiki.

Many surfers and wind surfers enjoyed there.

A kind of YUSUZUMI(cool off in the evening).

Baby surfer, might be great one in future.

I thought we would like to see the sunset to the sea tomorrow.
