Aki: Hey, the weather looks awfully nice today!

Aki: I want to go out! I demand freedom!!

E: Alrightie, get dressed then.
Aki: Umm.....hmm.

E: *sigh* Let me serve you, little princess.
Aki: Here's my leftie sockie!

Aki: Now my other shoe!

Aki: Yay, I'm done! Can we please go out now?

E: Don't forget your jacket, sweetie.
Aki: Okie dokes, got it! Got little kitty too!

Aki: Now put
your shoes!! Hurry up!

Aki: Now out the door! Out the door!
E: Wait for Mummy to open the door (in other words, wrap you up and stuff you into a carrying-case!)

Finally arrived at the destination.
Lots of photo spam below.
Aki: Yay, sakura! Nature!

Aki: I wonder what's over there...

Aki: Woohoo, look at me! I can climb!
E: Well done, sweetie!
(However, in reality there was a little 'accident' - luckily コシおばちゃん was there in time to catch Aki! Phew!)

Aki: Yay, another tree!
E: Please be careful...

Love this shot.

Aki: O Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo?
E: Umm, aren't you a bit too young for this? By the way, where did you learn this phrase anyway??


E: Somehow this reminds me of the poem that we read in class this week. Something about how romantic it is to die under a sakura tree...

Aki: How about this?
E: Much better. Now you look lively!

E: Say cheese!
Aki:..........I can't even if I tried!

E: Why the lonely atmosphere?
Aki: When will Mummy bring home a brother or sister for me??
E:........quit dreaming.

Aki: No? A sister??

Aki: What about a brother? A cute little one?

Aki: Fine. At least I have a tree to hug!
