This past weekend was the annual Japanese School Obon Carnival. I used to hate going to Japanese school every Saturday from 8am to 12pm. I mean it was torturous....but I always loved attending the annual Obon Carnival. They have games, Japanese food, performances, and Obon dancing. And when I was young, I used to always go to flirt with the guys from the Japanese school or the youth basketball league :)
This year I went with my parents (who are on the board of directors) and with the Kishiyama clan (along with part of the Miyahara clan). I ended eating the Kalua Pork plate, a spam musubi, snocone, and some Okinawa Dango (this yummy fried donut). It was fun watching little Evan, who was wearing a cute Hapi coat and hachimaki (headband). He loved the Taiko drums and even tried to dance a bit. I hope that when he gets older, he will join the Taiko group and we can watch him perform during the Obon.
