Play Date with Naoki!

A few weeks ago, we were invited over to Peyton's friend Naoki's house for lunch and a play date. Peyton was so happy to see his best buddy from his early intervention class and Naoki was happy to see him too!

We went into their backyard for some outdoor fun.

Naoki's little brother Koki joined in the fun. He's just so darling!

Peyton practiced dunking the basketball in the hoop.

While Naoki was having fun filling up the wheelbarrow with water.

Koki helping his big brother.

Peyton decided he enjoyed watching Naoki, so he would dump out the water just to let Naoki refill it.

Then we took a walk to one of the play areas in Naoki's community.

James and Aki, Naoki's Dad, were pulled into chasing the boys around. (Koki stayed home as it was his nap time).

It got hot, so we went back to their house and, since Koki was asleep, Aki brought out the "special trains" - a motorized TOMY train set from Japan that is just awesome. Satoko, Naoki's Mom, and Naoki built one track.

Look what the engineers built (Aki is also an engineer)!

Naoki and Peyton loved watching the trains zip around.

We want to thank the Matsuda's for having us over that day. We had so much and look forward to doing it again soon!
