The Obon Circuit

Since we attended all of the obon dance practices, we decided we should try to participate in as many obons as possible.  The season started with the Fresno obon...

And then there was Fowler...

Kara was lucky to get a new yukata from Auntie Betty in Japan and she didn't want to "waste it" at the other obons, so she patiently held out to wear it for Parlier's obon.

And since Grandma got a new yukata too...

The Parlier obon means shave ice duty for Daddy.  Even though it was hot (again), Daddy kept everyone happy and cool with his yummy shave ice.

In preparation for obon season, Ben drew our family dancing under the lanterns... Only two more to go!
