Kristen took the kids and Buddy for a hike today up to the Makapu'u lighthouse. Along the trail they ran into a Japanese tourist couple; the man, with a heavy accent, asked to take a picture of the children posing with the cocker spaniel on the trail. The kids were bemused, but of course they obliged. Afterwards Jack said "Mom, we understood Japanese!". Kristen had to explain they were actually speaking English.
