Makiko has been at our house for one week now.  She is a very sweet girl with a good sense of humour.  She has fit in with us very well and we have been having a good time, if a really busy time.  Here are some pictures of what we (and she) have been doing.

This is the day we picked up Makiko from the bus station.

We stopped at the top of the Malahat on the way home so Makiko could see some of the Island.  It had been snowing off and on all day, even though it was the 15th of March.

Miyuki was teaching Makiko about World of Warcraft on the computer.

Miyuki and Makiko went shopping together in Duncan.

Makiko and Miyuki made a chocolate cake for Nick's birthday.  It was very YUMMY!!!!

This is Nick and Bill (Nick's friend).

Today we went for a picnic at Bright Angel Park.

After Bright Angel Park, we went to Cowichan Bay (Cow Bay) and had ice cream and went to the Pirate Shack.

After Cow Bay, Nick took Miyuki and Makiko to ride on go carts.
