There was no practice today. Instead we had our annual Jodo Mission Bon Dance! It is an important part of continuing our Japanese traditions and heritage. Here in Hawaii, we must be approaching the 6th generation of Japanese-Americans. I'm a 3rd generation. We should never forget our "roots" .

| Naturally everything is made from scratch! |
Hawaii "Meibutsu" KC Waffle Dogs! There's Hot dog hidden in the waffle!
My Jodo Special Shave Ice! Azuki beans, strawberry syrup and condensed milk!
Dekiagari-! Forget the calories....for today!
Fuse brothers. Good form kids! Osu!
Waiting for the Bon Dance to start. Rain is no problem.
Travis and his sister Torri, Good students! OSU!
Dancing in the rain. (^^)
Kouhei and his brother. Nice You no Kamae there! OSU!
Dancing around the Yagura
The dancing crowd growing.
Perhaps only in Hawaii folks bring lawn chairs to watch the dancing!
For the first time this year, Temaki Sushi. (^^) It was popular!
It is good to see the younger generations taking part and keeping our heritage and traditions alive!
MAHALO!
