下記の文章を訳して下さい。

Billは友人のJustinと私達の週末について話しています。

Bill: Yesterday Yoko and I did something just out of the blue. We jumped in our car and took a ride to our kids’ old school.

Justin: What brought that about because you don’t hear of too many parents are doing stuff like that.

Bill: Well, our kids wet to a complete Japanese school from day 1 and it’s no longer existed so we wanted to just check it out.

Justin: Why did you send them off to that Japanese school because you live in America. I never heard of such a thing before.

Bill: We felt if they learned Japanese first that the rest of their life they could always pick up English.

Justin: Teach them when they are young that was a good call.

Bill: Yep, so now they speak both languages perfectly and don’t think twice on why or how they can do it.
