Every year they have a Japanese Autumn Festival here in Saipan. We went last year and had so much fun being immersed in Japanese culture. There are a lot of Japanese residents here and many of the restaurants and stores are Japanese so it's easy to forget that we're technically in the states.
Before the real show started we walked around a bit and Owen led us straight to the donut shop.
(Totally by accident, I'm sure.)
Both the kids only eat the portions covered in frosting.
This was the cutest thing ever but my hands were full and my lens was on zoom. The moment lasted about a minute and this was the only image I was able to catch. June noticed the moon up in the sky and was pointing saying, "Look! Look!" She didn't know what it was and it was the sweetest thing to watch her curiosity peak.
This little girl was so adorable. She was actually snapping pictures with that camera!
I just couldn't get enough of all the little girls running around in kimonos.
We've all been battling a cold for a month now and the kids started to get winded pretty early. Owen is a HUGE Daddy's boy and June is my baby but she insisted on her Dad carrying her for the bit of the festival. Super Dad, I tell you.
The whole thing left me itching for our Japan trip (coming this April for the Cherry Blossom Festival!) and wishing I could claim I was at least a little bit Japanese. :-)
