On Sunday this week we had Anna's Undokai or Sports day at her kindergarten. This was supposed to happen on Saturday but was delayed to the next day because of rain. My daughter had made these little ghost figures they call "Teru-Teru-Bohzu" to try to keep the rain from coming but they did not work until the following day.
This year is Kobayashi Tenjin's 20th anniversary. So they decided to try something special in the opening ceremony with all of the kids. They had prepared helium balloons for all of the children to release on cue. Now, I'm not sure how well this was actually thought out. They had grouped all of the balloons by color and since the strings were getting tangled, It took a good 30 minutes just to get the balloons handed out. While they were handing them out, one of the teachers kept telling the kids "HOLD THE BALLOONS WITH BOTH HANDS!". However, this was to no avail and you would see three or four stragglers get sent up into the sky. I was worried that the balloons would get in the way of the planes landing and leaving Narita Airport. You can see the balloon release in my Picassa album along with the other pictures. Just click the album above to see the whole album with the videos.
