kids go off to their new school year, and everyone settles into their new routines.

イースターを祝う国は多くありますが

Yes, Easter is a day celebrated around the world by billions of people, so how about here in Japan?

ここ日本では どんな風に過ごすでしょうか？

How do we celebrate this big day, and what is it even all about?

一緒に見ていきましょう！

In this episode we'll see how to have a big Easter celebration.

- 何する？ - 石投げ

[Life in Japan Theme Song]

道具は？

Hey Dude, so what are we going to do? Throw some rocks at the river.

誰もいない所でしよう

But what are you going to use?

楽しそうです

Gotta go to the river where nobody else is.

- 最後に来たのは？ - 1年前

Big guy is a little excited about this.

そうだね

How long has it been since we came down here? Like one year ago.

沢山良い石があるね

Like one year ago, I think you're probably right.

飛んだ！

OK, look there's lots of rocks here, this is a good place, OK?

この石が良さそう 飛ぶかな？

Oh!

見ててね

That one actually went really far.

上手だね

This one will work, I guess. Look how far I can slingshot it.

みんなが来たよ

Just come and look, you didn't see it.

見つけた！

Oh good, that was good.

- 来たね！ - 何とか

Oh, I see two pretty ladies heading this way.

よく来たね！

They found us!

いいね！

Alright! We made it.

月は？

Good job guys, you made it. I got this!

見つけた？

Oh! Look at that!

ママちゃん アマゾンで鍛えた技を見せて！

Where's the moon? Did you find it?

私は上手じゃなかったわ

OK Momma chan! Let's see if those days growing up along the Amazon River paid off.

ママちゃん！

I wasn't a sling-shotter. My sisters were. Oh, she wasn't a sling-shotter.

ママに負けたくなさそう

Whoa Momma chan!

多分ダメだよ

The farthest!

- ワーオ！ - 上手だね！

Joshua's like "I got to do better than Mommy." Ha! Yeah.

紫色の何かが見える

I don't think he can.

円も見える

Wow! Whoa, that was good Dude!

目も見える！

Wow, I can see something purple right there. Yea?

- すごい！ - 追い風だった

And I can see a circle.

今夜はイベントがあります

And I can see your eye. Ha ha ha!

友達のタツヤが コンサートを行います

Oh my goodness! I saw the wind take it.

Oh my goodness!

「つ」だね？

Hot, be careful.

真っすぐに見える

The first season, from eons ago — look!

その調子！

It's got the black bars on the side, that's how old it is.

続けよう！

Oh yea.

サラは何してる？

Look Daddy, the wind is actually so strong that I can't hold the umbrella.

- 工作！ - 工作？得意だよね

Back from elementary school. How was it today? Good.

サラが作った？

Good?

こんな感じ

Time to do some homework. Time to do some homework.

すごい！

What a big guy!

仮面になるよ

Tsu, right?

- 何してる？ - 宿題

Oh good job!

宿題！量は？

You have to remember how that feels so that when you don't have that there you can just go and do the right thing, huh?

中学の宿題は？

That looks so straight actually!

- 難しい - 沢山ある

Keep going. That's pretty good!

- 英語の宿題は？ - 簡単

OK, go do the next one!

楽勝

Sarah, what are you working on honey cakes?

幼稚園みたい

A craft! A craft. You are a craft master.

いつもは家で プレミアを見ますが

Did Sarah do that for you?

今夜はグッドフライデー（※聖金曜日）の 礼拝があります

This is what you can do if you do that.

なので 礼拝前に 教会でプレミアを見ます

Oh cool.

その後 聖金曜日の礼拝です！

And then it's supposed to be a mask like this. Nice!

行きましょう！

What you girls working on? Homework.

週末は昭和記念公園に出掛けます

Homework! How much homework do you have now?

チューリップが見頃のはずです

What's junior high homework like? Hard...long...

残念ながら 雨の予報です

How about your English homework? Easy peasy.

みなさんは 聖金曜日について ご存じですか？

The easiest thing ever.

世界で何十億人の人が祝います

It's kind of like kindergarten.

2千年前のイエス・キリストの 十字架の犠牲を思い起こす日です

It's Friday night and normally I'm staying here for Life in Japan premiere

神様の愛を示すため 十字架につけられました

But tonight there's Good Friday Service at church!

この日を記念し

So I'm going to do our Life in Japan premiere from the church,

日曜日にはイースターをお祝いします 特別なお祝いです

And then be ready, because just after that is going to be our Good Friday Service and it's going to be awesome.

イエス様の 復活の日です

So here we go!

イエス様による 死や絶望 罪や病への勝利

We were planning on doing a lot of fun stuff this weekend like go to Showa Kinen Park

とても意義深い週末です

See the amazing tulips there. It's awesome this time of year!

今回は「入学式」です

We were all ready to go, but it's just been so rainy, and I think it's supposed to be rainy tomorrow.

862人がプレミアに参加しています すごいです！

So if you've ever heard of Good Friday, and you're not sure what it is,

プレミアが終わったので 礼拝の準備です！

I did a whole video about it, because billions of people around the world celebrate this day.

ベン 鏡になってるよ

It's the day they remember the death of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice He did on the cross about 2,000 years ago.

イケてる！

And He did it because of God's great love for all of mankind.

準備万端だね！

So we go to church and remember that.

今夜は涼しいです

And then on Sunday, we have Easter Sunday which is arguably an even greater celebration than Christmas.

聖金曜日の礼拝を過ごしました

Because it has to do with the resurrection of Jesus,

帰宅してリラックスします

His victory over death, over despair, over hopelessness, over sin, over disease

動画へのコメントも見ます

And so this is a big weekend for us to remember, and celebrate.

準備はいい？

Tonight's Life in Japan is new school entrance

Hello to Anna, Becca, Sarah and Joshua

満開だね！

Hello! Hi!

コーヒー色です

It rained all night, it was cold, so we thought maybe the park wouldn't be an option,

撮れた？

But guess what? It stopped raining, it's still cold, but we're going to give it a try.

見せて

Well Joshua's taking his good buddy Aiden with us today and then we'll be on our way.

上手だね！

See that tree over there? I want everyone to go put your scooters there.

沢山のチューリップです

We're going to walk and then we're going to come get it.

They got so big and open didn't they?

唐揚げ

This reminds me of coffee — a coffee tulip!

お昼ご飯です！

Oh look at that! Did you get a good shot Anna-or Becca?

カレーライス・チキン・ハム アメリカンドッグ

Look at that. Oh, pretty cool! Alright alright.

カレーと食べる！

This is the collage garden, maybe?

ポテトとカレー？

1, 2, 3

美味しい？

The tulip gardens here are really something special

どう？

They're just beautiful. We try to come out at least once every year,

ありがとう

We don't always make it, but when we do, it's a lot of fun. Great for pictures.

ジョシュアはアメリカンドッグだね

Here we go.

サラはカレー

Here's your Japanese fried chicken.

アナはカレー完食！

Now it's lunchtime, and look at that.

ベッカもです

We have curry rice, we have some chicken, ham and corn dog,

カレーとポテトを食べる！

I put my fry inside the curry.

満腹になったので

Oh, you dipped your French fry in the curry?

遊び場に行きます

How does that taste?

子供が好きな遊具が 沢山あります

Good? You try.

子連れの家族に 最高な環境です

Oh, I would love to, thank you.

喉が渇いた！

Joshua's got his corn dog now, Aiden's munching his

ママに水貰って

Sarah is still working on her curry!

晴天のゲレンデの様に 眩しい照り返しです

But Anna just demolished the curry — look at that! And Becca just got her curry.

王様を決めてます

And Becca's about to demolish it.

アナの勝ち！

I'm going to try French fries with curry with rice. Oh, ok.

負けたらくすぐり！

Now with the crew fueled up, we take one last look at the beautiful tulips

くすぐられる？

and then we head to the main attraction for the kids, the park's massive playgrounds.

1人・2人・3人・4人 そして5人！

Deep inside the park, these multiple playgrounds will keep kids entertained for hours on end.

ママちゃん！

All in all, it's the perfect park for families and a big reason why we keep coming back here.

アナはここ ジョシュアとエイデンは真ん中

I'm thirsty! You're thirsty?!

ベッカとアナは向こう

Well, you have to go back to Mommy. Mommy has the water.

行って！

I can't tell you just how incredibly bright it is here. My goodness! It's like when the sun hits the snow, whew!

ドラゴンの中

Looks like they're playing king of the hill. Or queen of the hill I guess!

すごい

Oh Anna! Victorious.

アナが準備しています

And then the loser gets tickled.

1・2・3！

The loser gets tickled?!

サラがいました！

One person, two people, third person, fourth person, fifth person— there they go!

遊びつくしたので 家に帰ります

And Momma chan!

遊び疲れた様子ですが

Oh my goodness. Anna's getting ready for hers...

下りは楽しいけど 上りは大変！

One two three, smile!

アナのポーズ

Chomp. Sarah over there — Sarah! No! Chomp.

帰る時間です

With a number of playgrounds conquered, it was time to start the arduous journey back to the car.

楽しかったね！

The track back towards the car can seem extra long when everyone is tired and worn out.

電池切れ

But we have one last stop along the way the promises to be a great photo spot

ママちゃんが家族の為に ご飯を作ってくれてます

it's the fields of Canola, and they bloom each year along with the tulips.

疲れたわね

If they could stand right here. Joshua come! Pictures.

みんな腹ペコだね

It's fun to go down the mountain, but it's hard to go up the mountain. It's fun to go down...

ご飯とチキン

A pose. Oh yea, Anna's pose.

腹ペコの子供達が来ました

And with that, it was time to head back.

ご飯！

That was fun guys! And they're off.

ご飯です

And they're off!

明日は何の日？

Momma chan loves this family and gets us some great food to eat. Oh my goodness.

イースター！

That's right, we're all exhausted.

- 明日はイースター！ - 楽しみだね！

We're exhausted today, so some comfort food is in order.

イースターエッグを隠したわ

Some rice and chicken, oh yes.

ジョシュアとサラのは 部屋のどこか

Here come the troops, and they're like "yes, we need this!"
