We just got home from our annual obon camp. It was good as usual. What is obon? Annabelle asked that same question to Gramps Ueta and he told her that the four days of Obon , August 12-15, is the time when the dead spirits come back for a visit and grab your feet and pull you under while you are swimming. We had a good laugh at that only because the swimming time had ended. We always go to a lovely spot in the middle of nowhere called Minagawa. It is a small pure river, freezing cold, and quick running. Kids love it. I, Wade, have a hard time finding excuses not to swim in the ice. This year was easy, had a fever for the first couple days of around 39.4 C. Wasn't feeling so good. Shoko put in a lot of hard work to make it all work. So did her folks. Kids loved it, we swam, ate smores, played games, talked by lantern light and played with fire. Here are some snapshots of it all.
