Spring Break: Bunny Island

 On Monday we headed out to Bunny Island.  It is a 2 hour drive- past Hiroshima.  And then a short ferry ride to Okunoshima Island. Joshua and Delaney opted to stay home, which was fine.  Two less bodies in the car for a long drive is good!  The weather was gorgeous and perfect.  We walked around the entire island and got to see the historical stuff, which was cool.  It use to be a facility for testing and storing poison gas during the war.   And, of course, there were bunnies!  Lots of bunnies who were happy to get some goodies.

We brought bags of chopped veggies- cabbage, broccoli, carrots and parsnips.  The bunnies were thrilled for all of it but the cabbage.  Most of them were still happy to gobble down the cabbage, but several turned their noses up at it and wanted the other stuff.  That they devoured.  We took 4 gallon zip lock bags filled with food and ran out just as we were ready to go.  It was a good day.

Taking the ferry over.  We got on the big one this time, which I prefer to the tiny boat. 

Callie is in her happy place. 

 Marian found some friends.

 Rylee really really wanted a bunny on her lap.

But Marian had the best technique to lure them over. 

After seeing some friends post "Bunny Ninja" photos, Marian has been dying to try it.  I gave her 5 seconds and she did this.  The bunny was not harmed, and gave a single huffy hop when she put him down.  Then the bunny sat there and ate some carrots. 

See bunny, must pet. 

The kids were actually more excited to find this long tailed lizard. 

I love this cute girl! 

Rylee loved the bunnies so much!

She managed to get three at once! She was in heaven.

 Cool old buildings.

A barracks area. 

 Still looks cool.

Description of the stuff. 

This was a giant old abandoned building and would have been spooky if it were not all windows.

And the lizard collector. 

Hee hee hee!  Looking over the day's photos.
