Summer Fun

On June 28th Kaz and I met up with our good friends Marco and Miyuki who always have something amazingly fun planned. (They were the same friends who organized the hot air balloon ride) I met Marco and Miyuki several years ago in China. We were on the same tour of the terracotta soldiers in Xian, and when we discovered we actually lived within 30 minutes of each other in Japan we became friends for life. They have since gotten married and have THE CUTEST little girl named Una. They always plan these fun events and last Saturday was one of them. We first met at a community center in the afternoon and changed into Yukata (Japanese summer kimono). Then we went to a park that was prime time for Hydrangeas and Daffodils. After we all went to dinner at a buffet restaurant, and then to look for lightning bugs. We only saw one. Then we did some fireworks which was really fun. They throw the best no alcohol parties I have been to!
