After dropping off the stuff at home Ton wanted to head to the park, but the weather was crappy so we went to Appi instead and started with a lunch of random bits and bobs from the Combini.
She soon got bored and the weather had cleared up, so we went to the park.
The usual posse of boys had dug a huge hole in the wet sand and were recreating the flooding of New Orleans, so we stayed away from the sandbox and played with the bubbles.
There were a bunch of older girls in the park, too speaking English and having a good time. Ton immediately joined in and soon was sliding and swinging with them. I was told to stay away.
Turns out the older girl's name is Ocean; dad is French, mom is Japanese, and she is trilingual (Japanese, French, and English.) She was there with her sister, and there were two other girls who were sisters as well, also bilingual.
