a hiking we will go

Last Saturday I got to venture into the woods of Japan with the youth kids and young adults from the church. 
Clearly belching on this mountain was completely out of the question.
We were told this would be a "leisure walk."
The Beginnings of fall
Our View
New friend Mayumi and I
Towards the top of the mountain we started noticing a lot of these random idols placed along the way that just didn't seem to have a purpose. We finally came upon a big home and other totally random items. A boat filled with bath tubs, a pony, a slide that was lying down on it's side, and a gardener trimming the trees. Okay, the gardener wasn't so random...but when we asked him about this stuff he said that the people that live there are apparently collectors and collect all these items. Obviously...
One of the more flamboyant idols.
We were blessed with gorgeous weather for this day outdoors in the mountains. It was so much fun! At least us adults had fun...the youth I'm pretty sure felt that they just endured the trek to Mordor.
