Gerry in Japan - Mother Farm

The Meister is back!

At last, my internet connection has been restored to me and I can finally start uploading photos of our "recent" trip to Japan. I say Japan because, although we stayed in Tokyo, we didn't actually spend all that much time there. Most of our time was spent on the road going to various remote locations with activities for kids.


The first place we went to was a farm called Mother Farm. I say farm but the reality is that the place is so clean, it really doesn't feel like a farm. I would say it was cleaner than my own home but I'm afraid of upsetting the maid...


One of the animals at the animal farm. This picture was taken when Gerry still liked that particular animal. At some later point in time, when Gerry was getting close for another picture, the thing sneezed and blew snot all over Gerry. After he had gotten over the shock (and was done crying), he firmly declared that this animal was naughty and that he wouldn't play with it anymore.


This was taken right after one of the fun activities at the farm. Basically, this was a pig race and each child was assigned to one pig and was responsible for driving the pig across the field and into the paddock. Gerry didn't win but he had a great time slapping the pigs backside and telling it to hurry up!


Aww - a cute widdle wabbit!


One of the shows the farm had was a sheep shearing show. This was actually really well done and the guy doing the show had a lot of charisma and was a good entertainer. Shame that the entire thing was in Japanese...
