Roller Slides Park! Oh Joy..

So by far one of our favorite parts of Japan has been the pictures they put on signs, This was a sign just inside the park.

Okay the park we went to we called it the Roller Slide Park Because it had a couple slides that were made of these rolling stick like things, yeah I'm not so good at describing it but it rolls and you just slide right over it, hopefully the pictures will help you understand better. The first part of the park has this really awesome play ground for kids it is like a big obstacle course. When we went on it all I could think of was how much much nieces and nephews would absolutely Loove this park.


No obstacle course is complete without a zip line thingy.


There were these little Japanese Boys all by themselves going on it behind us, so of course we took a picture.











Is this not the coolest bridge you have ever seen?? haha Thats what I thought. Let me just cross the rainbow bridge to get to the bouncy clouds of marshmallow!! It really just made us want some skittles. umm.
A mossy wall on our hike up to the slide.


Finally the Roller Slide!! It was raining earlier in the day so it was kinda wet, they had mats to sit on, and at the bottom there was a giant puddle.



Well we were so lucky on our way up we ran into a group of Japanesee people who were doing a service project for the park by planting Cherry Blossom trees. We got there after they planted them but when they were having a BBQ type thing and not I this did not include Hot Dogs and Hamburgers, oh I wish it did though. They were so kind and friendly to invite us to eat. One of the guys knew English really well and the others only knew phrases. They gave us soup, real Japanese soup, it had lots of squid and mushrooms and onions and seaweed and tofu and lots of goodies. Then they gave us the stuff from the grill which was Squid, Onions, Egg plant, Green Peppers and Sausage. Then they just watched us eat and they were all just staring at us. haha

This guy is the one that knew the english and he kept asking is it Delicious?? the guys behind him in the Blue and Red hat was a HOOT!! He came kinda close to Chelsea and mine's face and asked us "What are you called??" and he went up to chelsea and was like "You Beautiful." The Japanese men just would ask us "DO you Like??" Then all look at each other and laugh really loud. It was really a good experience. One of the guys was trying to explain that it was for service and he would take his shovel and pretend to shovel the cement while saying..." FOR FREE!" Then look at his friends and they would laugh. So now Old Japanese men are pretty much my favorite. I really thought that all of them were really grumpy because they usually look mad, but after today, I have defianlty changed my mind.
