Jonathan's birthday was during the school term break. Hooray! Papa took a day off to bring the kids to Kodomo-no-Kuni (Children's Kingdom) at Yokohama. Kodomo-no-Kuni is huge park which gives kids and adults plenty of opportunity to roam around. Besides having the feeling of being in the countryside, there are also many play areas where the kids can challenge themselves.
The kids played at the playground before heading for the mini train ride. How can they miss that? After the train ride, they headed for a 110m rolling slide followed by paddling in a Swan boat at the pond. It was pretty hard work for them to paddle the boat for 30 minutes. Good exercise, fresh air, beautiful cool autumn weather.
The kids had fun at the children's zoo where they touched bunnies and guinea pigs. Justin had a ride on a pony while Jon and Papa rode a horse around the field. After that, they went to MooMoo Dome where the kids jumped and bounced on a dome shaped structure.
This is a place definitely worth a visit. Other attractions which the kids didn't go to included the green house, swimming pool (converts to a skating ring in winter), hanging bridge, milk plant and a cycling course. There is also a BBQ site and a camping area, or you can bring your own food and have a picnic at the park.
Whilst the kids were at Yokohama, mummy was at home baking a cake for Jonathan's birthday - Thomas black forest (sans liquer) cherry chocolate fudge cake. I asked him whether he wanted Thomas, Percy or Harold and he chose the first.
Delighted Jon
Last but not least, his ang paos and presents all the way from Singapore. Thank you very much!!
