Ueno Children's Festival

September 21, 2008 - It was a drizzling Sunday when we decided to take Theo to a small festival for children somewhere in Ueno Park. There were lots of food and game booths on that day, and in the nearby pavilion, performances were held almost nonstop from morning till mid-afternoon. Theo watched most of these performances of traditional Japanese music.

This is the sign that marked the entrance to the festival.

In one of the games there, Theo won a box of delicious pretzels.


Kids were also given a chance to catch some freshwater crayfish in a makeshift pool, and sure enough, Theo also wanted to give it a try.



While the performances were going on, Theo goofs around, which really isn't surprising, given his propensity to always want to make people laugh. We're starting to think that he's a natural joker.
