Weekday Photo Fun...

Last Friday our school had an inservice day, so our son got to stay home. I jumped at the opportunity to take both kids to the Kintai Bridge early in the morning before the crowd (which would surely be heavier on the weekends.) We completely lucked out and got almost the entire bridge to ourselves and some fun photos...

And I'll confess before you wonder, yes, our daughter is wearing a Chinese dress. She has a Japanese Kimono, which we have photographed her in before, but she wanted to wear this pink dress this time. Nobody complained, but Japanese women kept stopping saying "Kawaii, kawaii!" (cute) the entire AM. Our son is in Japanese "Jinbei," 2 piece Kimono for young boys.

Here's the kids with Iwakuni Castle in the background...

And down to play by the river after crossing the bridge...

The kids cooperated so well I let them pick out something from the food tents by the bridge. Our son picked a teriyaki squid (which he ate entirely at his own will) and our daughter picked teriyaki marumochi (pounded rice balls).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fun day for the kids and mommy. A little brighter sun than I'd like for photos, but hopefully still enjoyable to see. Perhaps we'll try again sometime.
