Today we went to a kids water park that is pure spring water from the base of Mt. Fuji. It was really beautiful and super cold, but felt great on a hot day like this! Kyla and all her cousins had a great time - even the adults got in! :) We saw the source bubbling from the ground! Super cool! 
It was also the second day of the summer festival in Numazu. They had a big parade of the taiko drums that Kyla was absolutely mesmerized by! Everyone was waving fans, carrying shrines and dancing in the streets! It was great! 
Another great dinner and celebration together! Our cousin Hiromi just got engaged to her boyfriend Yuki so we had a big party and cake for them as well! We had 31 family members here in this photo (and that's not even everyone)...new connections for Kyla and precious memories we will never forget! Arigato Gosiamasu (thank you very much), everyone! Had to get a family shot in our yukatas, of course! And yes, amazing fireworks again! 2 nights in a row! What a treat! Our family here has been so welcoming and generous, the rest of all of this was icing on the cake! Obviously, there were many tears saying goodbye in Numazu (especially to Oba-chan and Oji-san), so instead of "sayonara," we say "mata nae" (see you later). Love you all! Off to Kyoto now!
