it was daytime.

December 8, 2016 - Shai has had his top two front
teeth loose for quite some time now, until today. He made out really good with
the tooth fairy. 1000 paper money yen, a couple of American dollars, and a bunch
of metal Japanese money.

 Rocket
Launch
December 9, 2016 - We watched another rocket
launch today at our favorite park. This was actually the first time for little
Lael to see a night launch. This turned out to be spectacular. When the fuel
ignited, the sky lit up like it was daytime. This rocket was transporting
supplies to the space station.

 Fish
Festival
December 17, 2016 - Today was the annual
Minamitane Town Fish Festival. Temperatures were not really warm but the sun was
out and it made the day tolerable.
Picture - Us hanging
out together at the fish festival.
The town turned, what could be a 2-3 hour event, into a five hour, basically
meeting of the town folks....to be expected on such a small island. Anyway,
there was good food, nice performances, lots of friendly people, and of course,
the fish catching contest for the kids.
