Summer night festival


Wilson's school had their summer night festival at the end of July. The students were celebrating the arrival of summer and the beginning of their month long August break. The kids all wore their summer festival outfits. The girls wear yukata and the boys wear jinbei. The outfits are super lightweight for the heat of the season.Wilson had a ton of fun with his Japanese friends.



Leo and Archie got in the spirit of things with their jinbei as well. 


There were several games set up around the playground for the kids.


The kids made their own fans for the festival. Each class danced their 'bon dance' that they had been practicing. Wilson was never really in sync with the other kids, but he sure had a great time anyway.



With the festival behind us, we are in the midst of our super hot and humid summer break. School kicks off again in September and the age two class will have a new student - Leo!
