Pleasant Weekends
February 18th, Saturday "Church and Shopping Mall"
In the morning, George made
breakfast for me. It was very good. After that, George, Karen and I
went to church. Karen looked after some children while parents were
listening to the minister's speech, so I played with those children. They were cute.
In the afternoon, we went to a
big shopping mall in
downtown Seattle. I think it's the biggest one that I have ever been.
And we enjoyed lunch and talking at Red Robin.
In the evening, we watched "the Wizard of Oz"
on DVD at home.
George and I both like "Over the Rainbow," which is the theme song from the movie. I
was happy to hear it.

After that, we went to a restaurant called "TERIYAKI"
for lunch. The meal was very good!
In the evening, Karen and I went to a grocery store and bought
some ingredients for lunch.
February 25th, Saturday "Hot Dog and Japanese Food"
In the morning, George and I
went to church. After that, George took me to
Costco. We ate a hot
dog for lunch. It was very popular. It's the best
hot dog I have ever eaten!
In the afternoon, George and I went to H Mart, which is
an Asian grocery store. I bought some ingredients because I was planning
to cook Japanese food for dinner. After that, I cooked stew
at Emily's house. It was hard for me to use an American
kitchen knife but Kim helped me, so I enjoyed cooking. I felt short on the
taste when I ate the stew but everyone said to me, "It was delicious." I was
happy to hear that.
After dinner, we played a
board game and ate popcorn. I had a great time.

In the morning, George, Karen and I went

ferry for Seattle with Aya. Aya and I were enchanted by
the beauty of the scenery from the ferry.
At lunch, we ate a lot of
seafood with our fingers. It was delicious!
I like seafood very much, so I was very happy.
In the evening, Karen and I made
upside-down cake. Karen was a good cook!

March 4th, Sunday "University of Washington and Community Pool"
In the morning, we went to
church. I was very sad because the time had come for me to say good bye to
the people who I met at the church.
After that, George and Karen took me to
University of Washington. The
university campus looked like a town, so I was surprised. The library at
UW was
a
beautiful building.
At lunch, we ate Mexican
food and I ate tacos. It was really good.
In the evening, Karen and I went to a community pool.
Karen lent me a snorkel. I swam a lot because the snorkel was very fun to use.
