William has a friend here named Kyle. Kyle has been an upbeat 4 year old guy we keep seeing. Finally I made the connection with his mom, JC Penney (a Bremerton native) and we set up some play time.
They went to a little play area that you can see from our hotel room. They were searching for treasure in Alaska and Alasko. It was very cute. I love it that real boats pass by fairly closely. You can see the plank on the left of the photo, and there's a steering wheel up by the mast. Neat!
Kyle would say things like, "Miss Caroline, you are beautiful." "Miss Caroline, you make the best peanut butter sandwiches!" I think I might have Kyle stick around to save my sanity (occupies William) and sooth my ego.
There was only one sticky moment. William and he decided to race. It was 50 yards there, 50 yards back. Kyle won by 5 feet. He would have only won by 3 if William wouldn't have started slowing to whine that he was losing in the last few meters. So, they're really well matched. Kyle likes to run as much as William does. Not all kids do.
We had a very light earthquake (northeast of Tokyo epicenter... Barely got past 1.0) this morning. People on the ground floor felt it more than we did. We are safe and martini-esque... shaken, but not stirred by the incident!
