In the morning, Madelyn and I went on a bike trip to the mall area (only 6 miles to get there and back). We got to go to all the stores we had wanted to before we left Japan, so now I think our shopping is done. Yay! The only thing that might be purchased is a yukata because Minako said she might know a place where we could get them for a good price. Oh, you don't know what a yukata is? Well just look below and you'll see :)

Me in a yukata!

This evening we were invited to Dr. Shin's condo for dinner. It turned out to be a dinner party with the entire Nishimura family and 2 couples from the church/school! Dinner of KFC, pizza, tacos, salad, fruit, french fries, donuts, and applesauce cake. Yeah, lots of food :)
After dinner was yukata time for Madelyn and me! The kids put on their little Japanese jammies too :)

| I liked my bow :) |
After yukata pictures had been taken, we headed off to a festival of lightening bugs. They're uncommon here, apparently, so everybody thought it was a big deal. I just liked wearing the yukata :)

Owner of the yukatas :) she also tied
them for us cuz it's kinda a huge task |
After the bugs, we returned to the Nishimura's to watch fireworks shot off from somewhere in the surrounding city. It was pretty :) Just a late celebration of the 4th of July for us!

| Boom! |

All in all, a very good day dressing Japanese :)
