Hiroko's Hitokoto

While Ton was at BD party, I took Mo and babies to check out this summer break special exhibition at  Suntory museum in Midtown. No admission charge for kids! Babies did good, Mo was complaining at start, but he was happy at the end. He enjoyed kimono design on iPad the most. It was a small yet very cute and well designed exhibition. Then he finished stamp rally at Midtown, got a sheet of stickers, had snack, and came home by subway for just one stop! It was too hot walking outside. Photos here .

 Happiness is the bauguette fresh out of oven!  Can't stop eating this crispy bauguette! Happy kids at Maison Kayser It must be because we were hungry, the sample of warm bauguette worked miracle on all of us, we couldn't resist eating it on the street. It cheered up both of kids immediately.
