On Saturday, we went to Aunt Tamiko and\u00a0Uncle Yoshio’s house for lunch. We brought deviled eggs, which they said\u00a0they had never seen before.\u00a0Thankfully, they said they\u00a0liked them!\u00a0Aunt Tamiko made chicken legs in the pressure cooker which Bayus (ok, lets be honest here, all of us were guilty) couldn’t stop eating. She also made tempura vegetables, including these interesting mushrooms that we had never seen before. They were delicious! Aunt Tamiko is an amazing cook.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n After lunch,\u00a0Uncle Yoshio\u00a0showed us pictures on his computer. Some of\u00a0them were taken recently, but\u00a0many of them were pictures from his childhood or before. We greatly enjoyed being able to see pictures of Chie, my great grandmother, and Yoshio and his brothers when they were very young.<\/p>\n Dad and Elias stayed at Yoshio’s house for a little while longer, to chop down a tree for Yoshio, while Bayus, Mom, and I walked to Nozomi’s house. Reari, her friend, and Bayus played together, throwing water balloons, making origami ninja stars, playing at the park, and making cotton candy! They had lots of fun together, despite the language barrier \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n While they were playing, Nozomi dressed me in a kimono! Not only did she dress me, but she talked me and Mom through the process, and had us do the steps ourselves, so I can do it when we get home. It was so much fun! When we were done, Nozomi showed us how to fold the kimono, and then she gave it to us, along with all of the supplies! I am so excited, I can’t even tell you!<\/p>\n The kimono must be hung spread out, so it can air out. Hanging it on a regular hanger is bad for it, and it can distort the fabric.<\/p>\n This is a more casual way to tie the obi of a kimono. The obi is the belt.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
