Our neighborhood, Momijigaokacho, had it's biggest festival of the year today. It was lots of fun with tons of great things going on. There were toys and games for the boys, fun foods, karaoke, and the cutest part was that most of the kids were dressed in their festival clothes for the occasion. We had fun chatting with our neighbors and met up with 2 different Navy families that also live in our neighborhood. They were easy to spot!
Nathan was unstoppable in the adult competitions they had throughout the night. He had a blast and won 30 (!) eggs for winning a drinking contest and some ramen and canned coffee for the tug of war championship. Here are some short videos.
After the drinking event, I caught the boys doing this with their slushie cups - wonder where they picked it up!
Next up was tug of war where they had very official brackets and Nathan's team finished first. I think we're shouting pull in Japanese in the video? I just went with the crowd and tried to make sure Wilson didn't try to help!
The best food we tried all night was a whole bbq'd squid on a kabob stick. It had a kind of teriyaki sauce on it that was pretty tasty. The squid itself was very chewy and good!
I think this is the last neighborhood festival for a while, but we're big fans and can't wait for the next one!
I love that Nathan was out there competing like a champ! So fun! Great squid picture, too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your house is turning into a home. I really like your new furniture. Funny you didn't post a picture of the other couch haha..... The boys are so lucky to have a big room of their own to play.
ReplyDeleteThe festival looks like it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the videos.
