Summer Adventures: Obon festival

After we got back from our trip to Nemuro, N and I went to an Obon festival in my town. 
根室から帰ったの後にNと私の町でお盆祭りへ行った。

M took all the pictures that are on my blog this time, because I was too busy dancing and playing with kids to take pictures. 
Mちゃんはこのブログの写真全部撮った。私は踊りして子供たちと遊んだから、写真を撮らなかった。

It had rained earlier in the day, so the festival was in the elementary school gym. 
前に雨を降ったから、祭りは小学校の体育館であった。

Here is the Obon dance. 
これは盆踊り。

School festival day 1

We went to the old people’s home and the students danced for them. I loved the line up of old ladies in their hats.
生徒はおばあちゃんとおじいちゃんの前に踊った。 おばあちゃんのぼしはかわいい。

Many of my kids watched the dress-like-a-guy/girl show through their camera screens.

A man came and did rakugo for us. Unfortunately, I was super sleepy, which made listening super hard.
落語した人来た。私はとても眠たいから、聞くこと難しかった。
