Children's Land - Hachinohe

This weekend, we went to Children's Land & Botanical Gardens in Hachinohe, about 45 minutes away. It was so much fun! It is tailored for kids around Ashley's age and a little older, so there were a few rides that she could get on. She had a blast, and the whole way home she was saying, "Fun! Play outside! Fun!"

There was a beautiful park just outside the amusement park, and there were little kids running around with their nets trying to catch dragonflies, which were everywhere.
Having fun at the park...


An interesting looking statue at the entrance of the park.
Riding the train. We did this one 3 times.
Windmill next to the roller coaster at the park.


Ashley got a kick out of feeding the goats!
Japanese Sika deer.
Ashley loved the carousel. She would say, "horsie - fun!"
Going down the really, really steep hill!
Ashley and I rode the dolphin ride twice, and Greg and she rode it once. She kept saying, "wa-wa! wet!"
This thing was so funny. It's a battery operated bear that you put money in, and then it walks around! You can steer it wherever you what it to go!
Ashley pretending to "drive" the bear.
Greg's turn on the dolphin. (yes, he wanted to ride it!)
