Parking lot Cinderella

After a yummy yakiniku dinner with Yuki’s family, Catie was transformed into a proper Japanese little girl ready for a summer festival. Yuki altered and then dressed Catie in an old yukata of her daughter’s in a parking lot before dropping us off at the festival. 

 

Tonight was day 2 of the 3-day Sansa Odori festival- the largest taiko festival in the world. We didn’t last through many of the dance/drum troupes because the huge crowds freaked Catie out a little, but what we saw was pretty awesome! Plus, Catie loved dressing up.
