Misawa has a surprisingly nice Aviation and Science museum. I visited the first time earlier this year with Brock's class on a field trip. There are all kinds of hands on experiment areas for the kids...they can pretend to fly a plane, stand in a wind tunnel, ride in a pneumatic tube, experiment with gravity and lots of other really neat things.
Brock and I had visited once, but took the opportunity of a rainy Saturday morning to take Mike and Grace. It seemed like a perfect idea, but we forgot about Japanese Saturday school. There must have been around eight busloads of Japanese elementary schools there for a field trip. There were tons and tons of little kids everywhere!
We still had a good time, but will have to go back some time when there is a smaller crowd and shorter lines. You can see some of the elementary school kids in one of the pictures with Grace. The color of their hats indicate their grade.
Gracie wore her Japanese nametag to the museum for fun. She visited a Japanese preschool with my neighbor Janet earlier this month. The kids there made her a Kanji nametag which G wants to wear whenever we leave base!
If you come to Misawa, we will take you!
Love,
