For kids in Japan, summer is a time for festivals. They dress up in yukatas (summer kimonos), eat ice cream, catch goldfish, and play with fireworks. On Saturday we had our summer festival at school. This year Saya wore a yukata for the first time. She looked beautiful and we were so proud of her! I tried to dress her by myself, but I ended up having to run down the block to get some friends to help me. I still have a lot to learn about Japanese motherhood…

Another pretty Yukata. (All of the girls looked so beautiful!)
