Saturday was Obon at church. I wore cousin Alli’s hapi coat and watched people danced.

Uncle Jeffrey, Cousin Allie, and her friend Lauren were dancing with their fans. I practiced holding mine too.

See all the other people dancing. The teachers are the ones on the stage in the middle. At night the pretty lanterns are lit up.


Even my Grandma’s danced! At Obon everyone dances the last 2 songs. Mom carried me and I danced too. Grandma Doyle was out visiting for the weekend and she came to watch, and Jeffrey pushed Great Grandma’s wheelchair so she could dance.

Here I have my towel tied around my head. 
How’s this for fancy footwork? Can you do this with your feet?
