kite.day

wednesday was kite day (golden week is from april 29-may 5, which is a big japanese holiday week. may 5th is children's day, and since yamauchi campus did their kite day on may 5th, my campus did it on may 6th). i loved this celebration because all the parents came to eat lunch with their kids and watch them fly their kites.
after forcing the kids to eat lunch when we got there (the playground was just screaming their name!! haha), they played until it was time for the kite flying contest.
the crazy slide!!
ayanajed and leoleo's cute little brother!for the kite flying contest, each grade had five minutes or so to fly their kites around so the teacher could pick a winner. then each winner would fly against each other and all the teachers would get together to pick the kite flying champion.
getting ready for the contest...flying their kites around to try and impress me :)moe won for first grade, but sadly her kite broke during the final round. there is always next year! :)
