Higashiyama Summer Festival 2008

It’s been a long day. Mami was helping set up our neighborhood festival at 8am while I stayed home with Rikuto and nursed my broken toe. Later in the day, Ricky’s grandma and aunt came to look after him while I joined Mami at our “Mitarashi dango” stand where we ended up making 720 sticks of dango. We didn’t get home till after 10pm, both exhausted, but at least we got to wear a happi coat!
