Last week while Ray was gone at team camp, I got the opportunity to go and volunteer at a nursing home. It was their summer festival, and my job, along with a few other American volunteers, was to make takagori, or shaved ice.
We met so many wonderful (and cute!) old folks. I even met a woman who was 105 years old. She was still strong and kickin!
The takagori machine. Delicious!
All of the patients invited their families. It is custom during festival time to dress up in traditional yukata, like these kids have on here. What a beautiful sight!
There was all sorts of entertainment, from dancing, to drumming...
