April when we celebrate the Month of the Military Child is the perfect time to go out and enjoy hiking, sports, or other fun spring activities.

Kanazawa Zoo near Yokosuka Naval Base is a large zoo home to capybaras, elephants, deer, rhinoceros, giraffes, koalas, kangaroos and more offering a nice time for your family. Inside the zoo's "Nakayoshi Tunnel" near the entrance features a cheerful animatronic display of animals playing various instruments. So, let's stop in and listen to their cute performance. Today's Japanese phrase: “Enso wo kiki masho!” 演奏を聴きましょう！ = Let's listen to the performance! ("enso" 演奏 = performance, "kiki" 聴き = listen to, ".. wo -.. masho" ・・を・・ましょう = Let's do .. to .. )

Let's enjoy MOMC and the season's fun activities with your family!
