  • fat cheeks <3 soo cute!

  • Japan has the best parks EVER!!! Our teacher showed us this video about Japan, and a park that these two kids went to was awesome! This park in this video is about 100x better than any park I've seen here in the US. Lol my friend and I promised that, no matter how old we are, one day we will go to Japan and go to an awesome park.

  • wow Japan has the coolest parks ever!!! NICE!! Lucjy japanese kids!! ;)

  • coooooool park

  • that is such an awesome slide.

  • i think it is amazing how nina speaks japanese and english so well...i know it's possible because i speak hebrew and english fluently (and i'm 13) but it still blows me away how one so young can speak both languages so well!!!! XD

  • @TheMangachick1 Yeah, I envy you (and Nina) being able to learn two languages from a young age. For me, trying to start learning Japanese at from age 32, it has been very difficult! Be sure to keep up both your English and your Hebrew!

  • Watching Nina makes me cant wait to have a child. I says this, and im nearly 16. haha . What a great park ! I want to go there !

  • @PigstarX3 Take your time! ha ha Having children is great, but definitely take your time with it, and do the things you want to do first!

  • what happen to her left elbow? @3.38

  • really advance parks i would say.most of slide i see only made with metal sheet.but in japan they use roller.really genius..

  • @triplerotor I've never seen the roller type slides in America either, but yes, it is a nice design.

  • Park in Japan are cool we don't have this kind of Park in France :$

  • I love those very long slides, they look so fun! they're like mini roller-coasters! And what are those tubes called? extremely cool. You can only see things like that in museums in America. Very impressive.

  • i'm a nina's fan from thailand  : )

  • She is sooo cute! AWESOME PARK

  • nina's voice singing to mama through the pipes is so sweet, i feel like want to hug her..

  • I am extremely jealous, American parks are usually very boring, with only swings, a slide, and maybe a seesaw. Because of this video, I have added another thing to the list of places I must visit before I'm 21 =D

  • @MewNyaMeow Yeah, America needs to get with it when it comes to parks.

  • @geofg especially when it comes to who is at those parks >:(

  • @geofg how old is she now?

  • You are both such great parents. Nina is very lucky to grow up in such a great family.

  • Nina and her videos keeps me happy amidst stress and unemployment. thank god for nina!

  • I WANT TO RIDE DA SLIDE! :( WAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • looks fun :)

  • that is a cool slide! I wanna go on it!!

    btw, Nina kinda reminds me of Emily yeung :O

  • I've never seen a park like that! The slide-thing really surprised me!

  • Oh wow, that park was awesome! Lol, I've never even seen slides like those...but maybe thats because I'm from a small town and only recently moved to the cities...lol but either way...Lol, I wish I was a kid so I could play at a park like that... :) Hey Nina is getting better at singing...that was actually pretty good lol....she's actually singing instead of saying the words in a 'singy' voice....if that makes sense...

  • damm i never knew u could do that with pea pods!

  • that is a cool park

  • those slides always scared me and still do. They are dangerous because I always clip my fingers ='( And I am 18! She is so brave...

  • @LittoBUbbo Can your fingers fit between the rollers? I've never seen that happen. Yikes!

  • @geofg haha wel not like go in but I am really paranoid because the sides are kinda... actually I live in San Francisco so our playgrounds suck. I bet her playground is awesome. Nvm my comment

  • @geofg HOLY MOLY! I wanna go there. My park that I go only has 6 swings, 2 or 3 climbing things, 2 or 3 slides, a sandbox, and other 4 things I cant remember. *Sigh* I wish I could go there.

  • @ThatVideoGameGirl123 I'm sure you can find some cool parks like that somewhere in the city where you live, but you might have to get somebody to drive you to it. Our local neighborhood park is not very interesting either. This park is about a 25 minute drive from our house.

  • Hi geofg, greetings from the Philippines! I have been a Nina fan Just recently when a friend shared her video to me. Since then I have been hooked on watching her videos I even shared it to my friends too. Thank you for sharing Nina to us. She has been our joy after a stressful day at work. God bless you and your family always. 

  • @ampochlko Thank you! I'm happy that watching Nina can relieve stress for you!

  • 今回もニーナちゃんかわいいですね♪あの、公園にある声が聞こえ­るパイプ、おもしろいですよね。子供にはすごく不思議なんでしょ­うね~。すっごく元気な女の子で見てて、癒されますね~♪

  • @naillove ニーナのパパでもあのパイプが不思議なものだなと思った。笑

  • oh God I love her so much! btw how old is she? :)

  • @natashiaevelyn She'll be five in August.

  • japan is so kaoi i want to go some day

  • Man I bet she slept well that night. :)

  • @DarkWingDeDe Yeah, days like this one are so much better than the rainy days where Nina has to stay inside all day. She has an energy quota she has to use everyday and the easiest way to use it be far is letting her run free somewhere.

  • It's summer! Nina should try Ice Skating some time. :D

  • What a lovely park. Nina is so charming. You and your wife are doing an amazing job with Nina. Very cool. Thanks for taking me along to the park. Arigato!

  • My daughter is in Osaka as we speak, and she had taken Japanese for 8 years. She hopes to teach English in Japan one day. She is currently studying at Osaka women's University. We are both big fans of little Nina-thanks for sharing her with us!

  • @grommie959 Thanks for leaving a message! So, your daughter studied Japanese at home first, before going to Osaka? I'm sure she is having a good time. Osaka is a really lively city, with great food and lots of character.  Good luck to her!

  • @geofg Yes-our local highschool offers Japanese as a foriegn language, and she has continued her studies in college. She is attending the University in Osaka through an program with Kent State University. She LOVES Osaka!

  • man that playground would be a great place to play woodchips!

  • wow its a nice place :D

  • Heeey, what happened to the Japanese subtitles? D:

  • @ulmo I got lazy.

  • 親も良い運動になりますね。もうすぐ海水浴や花火の時期ですね。­次のビデオも楽しみです。

  • @hiragana3 そうですね。夏(特に夏休み)はすごく楽しみにしてます!ニーナ­は去年買った浴衣がまだきられるといいです。

  • beautiful. just beautiful geofg. i wish there are cool playgrounds like these in singapore. we do have playgrounds but this playground looks awesome! gross motor development is also important for a child and nina is really well developed all roundedly it seems! good job there! kudos to you and mama!~

  • @GAEUL1985 Thanks! At this point, Nina isn't really very "sporty" but she's pretty active, so I think that's enough for now. She likes to dance, so maybe she will want to take dance lessons sometime.

  • @JulyRuby72 Thanks, and good luck with your studies. I came to Japan at 32 knowing no Japanese at all, so it's not necessarily a prerequisite for working here, but recently with the big influx of foreigners watering down the workforce and the lagging economy, it is getting harder and harder to find decent jobs. Are you thinking of applying to JET?

  • I need to learn Japanese from Nina...she always surprises me!

  • such good editing

  • nina's is very pretty kid, have u ever think about sending her to do tv commercials? sort like kids model

  • wow!! nina will be an actress some day....smiling,frowning and singing on command....i cant wait for her debut!!!...hope i live that long..hahaha

  • @osakaben10 ha ha Well, she will certainly be used to being photographed and filmed. She's usually good natured about doing the things I ask her to do, but sometimes she will tell me, "No more pictures, Papa!"

  • Neat park!

  • Where this park located?

  • We don't have parks like this in Texas. At least not in Austin. This park looks very fun. I wish the people who construct parks would take a hint from other places. All ours look the same. Slides, swings, and monkey bars. Nothing new.

  • @CocaineFormula But, in Austin, you have town lake with all the biking/walking paths along it, squirrels and pecan trees, Barton Springs... I love Austin.

  • I love those roller slides! I remember they had them at a few family fun centers when I was kid, but never any on a playground. What a fun park! I love your daddy and daughter outings, but it's nice to see the whole family together on your daytrips! I hope your family is happy and well ^^

  • @seiyaodango We have a lot of outings as a family, but my wife just tends to be shy about being filmed, so I often don't take the camera along unless it's just Nina and I.

  • that park > any park i've ever been to in my entire life.

    not gonna lie, i'm pretty jealous, haha.

  • oh Nina, you're so beautiful now :)

  • hello nina, im your constantly watcher from indonesia ;), and uncle geofg, what is nina full name? if i may know. say hallo to nina from indonesia ;D

  • aww i love when she speaks in Japanese :) so cute

  • You and your wife are great parents, sir.

  • we have parks like this in Germany,the best thing they made at the parks were the slides, its unfortunate that America doesn't make them this way D:>. my Fav slide in Germany was the huuuuuge monster slide that you had to use a rug to slide down on,it had a lot of bumps too! Recently me and my friends went to a park @ around 10-12pm and played nerf guns like we were 13 again haha!!

  • @TeshiMeshi You are never too old to play nerf guns in the park.

  • @TeshiMeshi : I loved those rolling slides as a kid! The last time I ever saw them was at a local fair held every summer. Yeah, unfortunately America's recently a little too paranoid about the safety of the young generation. Many parks had gotten rid of sandboxes and replaced them with woodchips, and the slides are these boring, easy plastic slides instead of the steep and metal ones.

  • I just broke up with my girlfriend today but you always know how to cheer me up Nina, thanks for the video and dont forget to tell your great parents what I said aswell! =]

  • say geofg, what kind of camera do you use? it has a reaaaally good quality of image!

    Nina is awesome, thanks to you I'll adopt a chinese girl =)

    I (L) NINA!!!! :D

  • @LaMoiRachel chinese? -.-. isn't nina japanese?

  • @LaMoiRachel I use the Kodak zi8. It is small, simple, has HD and is one of the cheapest digital cameras on the market.

  • @geofg oh my god! thats incredible! thanks I think I will try it! ^^

  • What kid has not seen those cool rollers at the airport and not wished they could ride on them? What an outstanding place for a child to play. Great video.

  • they need parks like this in america!

  • that looks fun :)

  • Your wife seems to know a lot about plants and such. I am guessing that making a noise with the bean pod was here idea. Is she a bit of a tomboy?

  • @usaverageguy Yes, you're right, my wife taught us the bean pod whistle trick. Since becoming a mother, she has remembered many things like this from her childhood.

  • I love lil Nina! I pray you grow up strong, smart , lovely and kind! I look forward to more of your videos! ♥

  • Nina look very happy. She has learned a lot of things are much better experience

  • That looks so fun!

  • very sweet memories.. nine is sooo lucky..i hope when she grows up she realized it..

    i have very nice childhood memory but i will do everything to have experience in playing with mom and dad..

    mom was too busy and dad said byebye to heaven..:(

  • @nenooye That's sad. Yes, Nina is lucky to have parents who spend so much time with her, and we are lucky to get to spend so much time with her, too. I'm happy you had nice childhood memories anyway.

  • nina is sooo active!!

  • Wow, that looks like a kid's paradise! And Nina's looking adorable as always!

    Looks like you all had a lovely day.

  • the park is really cool... ^_^ nina's so cute..

  • Also: What typeface did you use for the video's title? I've never seen a capital G (in "Goes") with the descender curling outward.

  • @languageandhumor I think it's called "Coolvetica" or something like that. It comes with the latest iMovie. The outward curling descender was irrisistible.

  • @geofg Coolvetica. Right you are. I see that only the G, Q, and q do that--though the j, t, and y are also interesting.

  • What a great park. And you netted yourself a Nina! Good thing she's not so small you'd have to throw her back. I like Nina's Peko-chan face in the net at 1:00, and her sad face at 1:07 is priceless. I also like that she had fun not only with the fancy engineered metal structures but also with blowing through a bit of plant and just running around.

  • @languageandhumor It is a very clever design, the way they use the roller slide to lure kids onto the jungle gym in the first place, and then entice them into the tunnels that lead to the nets. They don't even need to put food in the nets. The kids climb into them willingly.

  • She's too cute !!!! :D.

  • OH, i was forgetting! you know what mister geofg? im writing my thesis upon the TPS (toyota production system) and everytime i have to write some japanese word (like, pokayoke, tsukurikomi or kanban) i always think of nina..

    don't know why but that's pretty nice by me :D i love nina, and she is the "little japan" in my life.. a big kiss! ciao!!

  • @lifemango That sounds like a big thesis topic! I hope being reminded of Nina makes writing your thesis a bit easier.

  • I want to play there too mister geofg *___* it's so funny!

  • Wow, you have way cooler stuff there than here in the USA. I never saw the horn things in the USA, and I never saw a slide here with rollers.  It is really COOL there! :D

    ~Cindy! :)

    ..

  • Oh, Yeah... they also don't have that sack thing, where Nina was sorta "bagged"! :D

  • @CindyBradyTooh I suspect in the USA kids might go too crazy on those things and get hurt and you would have too many law suits.

  • this plant is funny ^^

    It's so nice how much time you spend with Nina, she will have a great childhood like I had

  • My daughter says Nina sounds like "Mort" (from Madagascar) when she talks on that yellow speaker thingy! It's so cute. You guys gotta come to Kamakura some time! bye-bye! Hana & Papa

  • @kubohemian Interesting. We have Madagascar, so we'll have to watch it again to see how Mort talks.

    How old is Hana?

  • @geofg Hana likes singing "We like to move it move it" -- I think Nina sang this song too on one of your videos a while back. Hana is 4 and half. Hana loves watching Nina at night before we go to bed. Thanks!

  • Awesome park! I liked the "new technology" for the slides :)

  • My boys would LOVE that park .. they would never want to leave ! Great video. :)

  • @Moodyzblu Yeah, they have some good ones over here.

  • Cool! Looks like you had a great time together as usual:D I wish we had space for that kinda park here.

  • Lovely! The perfect vid to show a beautiful childhood! (Sorry, I have no idea how to say something like this in English) And I just noticed how tall she actually got! Just lovely~ *is going to watch it again* =3

  • @DaKirztah Thanks! Your English makes perfect sense.

  • 悲しい時でもニーナを観るといつも笑顔にしてくれます。

    ジェフさんのパパラッチを嫌がる日が来ないことを祈ってます(。­-人-。)

  • 最近カメラのことが気になったニーナは後どのぐらい撮らせてくれ­るかな。

  • So coooooool !

  • LOL Geof i liked the part when Nina was in the rope cage and you said you'll pick her up tom and leave banana and a glass of water..reminds me of Nina Loves Banana video..apparently she really likes Banana huh?LOL Love this video soo much..another fave video from Nina, Mama and Papa :) i love this park..i wish i was in japan and 5 years old :o)

  • @MADQueen89 I always think the same thing when I go to these Japanese parks. There are so many cool things to climb around on. It must be really fun to climb around on. I still try to climb on some of the things, but I get funny looks from the other kids.

  • May 2009.

    Probably you don't want time to flies so fast.

  • YES first video i've seen with NO THUMBS DOWN!!!

    glad it was one of yours Geof

  • I wish I had cool parks like that when I was a kid!

    Nina is adorable, and so smart. Yours and Nina's relationship reminds me of my dad and I - your videos always put a smile on my face. Thank you :D

  • @DayniKo Thanks! Do you still have a good relationship with your dad? I worry about when Nina gets older and her friends become the most important thing in her life. I hope she'll still think about ole dad now and then.

  • @geofg My dad and I still have a wonderful relationship even though I'm in college and busy with other things. Every so often we go on little adventures to the beach or go for bike rides. Daughters will always love spending time with their dads, especially after having so many great memories from childhood. You don't have anything to worry about :)

  • @DayniKo That's nice to hear.

  • I can imagine the top ninja warrior's contestants training here when they were kids. SUCH AN AWESOME PARK XD

  • @Mugensenpai Yeah, it definitely seems like good training for something.

  • fun looking park with lots to do and not too crowded.

  • @saiyouken We got in early, before the crowds came.

  • 2009?

    lol

  • how does she interact with other kids?

  • @JunTakashi00 She plays with other kids every day at daycare. Sometimes we go to the park with one of her friends, but on this day it was just our family.

  • that park looks so cool!!

  • Why is it MAY 2009? It was filmed last year was it?

  • @farahabdullah No, when I was editing this, my fingers decided to ignore my brain and type the wrong year.

  • That IS a cool park.

    Those conveyor belt things remind me of what the local grocery store used to look like when I was a kid.

    I've never heard '3 little pigs' in Japanese. That is also cool :P

  • @6663000 Yeah, I think those slides would work well for moving boxes of produce, too. ha ha

  • I must go to japan, and go to that park. NOW!

  • Nice one. Looks like a great day out.

  • that was filmed last year?

  • @RabaRabaRobyn

    I am thinking maybe he just got the date wrong, since it does say 'May' ..... could be wrong though.  haha

  • lol. The face she makes as she shakes her head 'no' after you suggest she stay in the net overnight is just precious. I seriously admire your family. I'm too busy trying to get my life in order for me to even think about having a fam, but once I do, I hope I'm as close to my daughter / son as you seem to be with yours.

  • @theTR4MP Getting your life in order before focusing on making a family is a good idea. I didn't marry until I was 36, and I was 39 when Nina was born. At this age, I'm pretty settled with my life and who I want to be etc, so am able to focus on spending time with my family, which is nice.

  • what part of japan do you all live in?

  • @RAWRgoesme92 We are in the Chubu region.

  • i need to find that park!

  • @platonicmojo You must have some with similar stuff in your neighborhood. Seems like most of the big parks in Japan are pretty well equipped.

  • No kidding, cool park! ;D Are there many parks in Japan like this? Did you have to go out of your way to go to it or are there a lot of parks like this, do you know? Fun :) Not so crowded either it seemed :D Thanks as always for sharing Nina with us :D, makes the day better.

  • @joshuarawr Yeah, there are quite a few parks around with stuff like this one has. This one was maybe a 20 minute drive from our house. They can get pretty crowded, but we usually try to get to them early and then leave before too many people come.

  • dang i wish i had that when i was young

  • That park...wow this just about confirms my idea that everything in japan is wickedly awesome! And of course geof and the family are apart of why it's so cool ;)

  • Nina seems to get prettier each time I see her; she truly is a little sweetie ( something about her reminds me of Kathleen when she was that age).

  • @mohjoh1947 Did you take any kind of movies of Kathleen then? My mother has a few Super 8 movies of our family, but you have to have a projector to watch them, so we never see them.

  • @geofg We have "loads" of photos of Kath and her older brother, Sean. WE did not take video though others did, so there may be some video of her out there. I think it's the shape of her face, the healthy rosey cheeks, the happy smile and a general happiness and enjoyment of life with a mom and dad that she knows truly and unconditionally love her. That's the similarity I see and like so much!

  • @mohjoh1947 All kids should be as unconditionally loved as Nina and Kathleen are.  I'm glad you can "feel" that in these videos.

  • nina is so cute :D

  • Your videos so make my day. I wanna go to that park. Thanks for posting!

  • WOW what I would not give to go to that park! Those roller slides look so fun I would ride on them all day long. When you guys were blowing into those bean things you sounded like guinea pigs. hahah

  • @melzaelf Yeah, I had to give the roller slide quite a few tries myself.

    So, that's what guinea pigs sound like? ha ha

  • You guys are a riot! I hope you have tons of fun in the years to come! :D

  • I wanna go down that slide! kawaii!

  • i wish i had a cool park like that when i was her age

  • japan has the coolest slides :O

  • i love nina :) maybe when i get kids, ill do what u do. ;)

  • 2009 VS 2010-- Maybe Geof san want to freeze the time in case Nina wouldn't grow up too soon :)

  • @caitchang That must be it. I think my fingers were thinking separately from my mind.

  • Comment removed

  • Nina makes me wanna go to the park too~~

    thx for uploading da videos~

  • I wish there was a park like that where I live.
