Sakura Viewing Magic

Every spring we join the millions of Japanese who stop and take pictures of the Sakura trees.  We are enchanted by the magical way they transform a crowded cement city into a breathtaking flower garden.

Our kids like to pile up the blossoms in their hands and make a wish before blowing them to the wind.
Of course there is always the "Jonas way" of viewing the sakura....

So pretty! YOur parents picked the perfect time of year to visit - ISSH Campus is at it's best. (And by the way, why does Miss Shailey get free dress while Miss Emma is in uniform...was it a Spirit Day already, or did her class win a Free Dress Day?)
