Yabusame

This weekend was a festival in Towada City that I've been wanting to see since we got to Japan. It's called Yabusame and it's a horse mounted archery, where the participant shoots three arrows at three different targets as the horse runs down a straight corridor. It was really neat. The fact that it takes place under the cherry trees in full blossom didn't hurt either!

Aside from the action of the festival it was a beautiful, still slightly chilly day, but it's starting to warm up.

The kids shot cork guns...

Rayce ate some meat on a stick...

We just had a great day.
