Funny story at Kumamoto Castle

Kumamoto
Well, the funny story has little to do with Kumamoto Castle, but it is one of the largest castles in Japan and has been there since 1400. Amazing to think that it was standing well before the United States was even an idea. Anyway, really fun trip.
So we were done checking out the castle and we were getting ready to load up into the car. Isaac, being the curious one of the group, found something quite interesting in the bushes about 20 feet from the van. So, logic states that you must then poke it with a stick (at least Isaac logic says so). It was a beehive of course. So, all of a sudden Parker lets out this shriek. It happened when Isaac had a stick next to his leg, so we figured he had poked him. But, after a few seconds, we realized that his screams were rather shrill and more than a stick-poke. Just when we came to that conclusion...BAM!.....BAM! Isaac grabs his arm and Taylor grabs his ear, again blood curdling screams, arms flailing in the air, running in circles and Japanese tourists taking it all in. Luckily each one of them just got one sting, but they seemed quite painful. Maybe they were Japanese Kamikaze Bees or something, but we never actually saw the bees, they stung and disappeared. It was quite funny actually, and we are kicking ourselves that we didn't have the camera going, because we had it right there.
But, once again, poor Taylor and Parker suffer from Isaac's curiosity. And, Isaac suffers too.

Hey, I guess you guys didn't see the Discovery Channel's program on the killer Japanese Bees. I'm telling you, they are 20x the size of a regular bee and they have killed many people in Japan. Maybe Isaac can research it while there and see how lucky he and brothers are. I'm sure if he'd have hit one of their hives, there would be a bigger story to tell. Thank goodness they are not allergic to the stings. Wow. Adolf's meat tenderizer goes a long way on the stings. L/ Dad/ Papa
