This is what Minami looked like after I picked her up from Summer Camp and just before I took her to Kendo. But don't worry, she kicked butt in Kendo once she woke up. #minami

All the summer activities are taking their toll on Minami. But don't worry, as soon as she sees her teachers and friends it's like an espresso shot - she's a social creature like that. #minami

Minami's on fire today. Guest kendo teacher came for sparring & while it's common to let her sempai (senior mentors) get 1st crack I guess Minami couldn't wait to draw 1st blood so she rushed in to everyone's surprise. #minami

One thing Minami & I share a taste for is any & all ice treats: ice cream, shaved ice, snow ice, snow cones, blended ice, & in this case ice pops. We slay'm in summer. #minami

Summer in Japan is all about shaved ice, watermelon, cold somen noodles, but here in SoCal we just drop the Krispy Kreme donuts & call it a day. #minami
