Sean by the stage
Aly getting scared
On Saturday, we took the kids to Japan Festival held at a nearby community college. It is an annual festival which celebrates and introduces Japanese culture. There were lots of exhibits and strolls selling Japanese crafts as well as shows on stage. When we walked in to the main hall they just started the Okinawan drums and dance show on the stage. The drums were rather loud and Aly and Noah were quite terrified of it. Alyson turned pale and started to shake. Noah stack his lower lips out and cry. Sean was a little scared but was also curious and could not keep his eyes off the showmen (and women). Saya was the only one maintaining the cool. She happily sat in her stroller looking peaceful. Sean was quite excited to see some carps and gold fish at the outside exhibits. We were there just for an hour or so but we had a good time. We explained to Sean that Japan is where Mommy, Grandma and Jiji are from and that he is also half Japanese. I am not sure if he got it, but we'll keep explaining to him until he gets it. We want the kids to be proud of being part Japanese and learn and live the culture as much as possible.
