I wish I knew the name of this festival??

...but I don't ...sorry :( In the next town (Towada) there was a festival this weekend. We loaded up the truck, charged the batteries in the camera and rolled out!

Before we got there we saw these cool sculptures in the middle of town in front of the art museum. We just had to pull over and snap some pics!
Just so you are clear.....that is a DOG in that baby stroller! Such a pampered poodle :)
This is a puffy car that belongs to the house below...it was actually a real car!
Inside this puffy house there is a TV that plays Japanese and English. It says that this house is both a work of art and a house - so if you buy it you will be buying a house and a work of art!
Pretty, pretty flowery horse
ARGHHH a giant, scary FIRE ant!!

2 min later we were at the festival.....
The women horse riders setting up for the show
fresh fish on a stick ... it's being cooked over hot coals
chicken on a stick -- kind of taste like teriyaki chicken -- YUMMERS!
Elijah's first ride on a horse - he liked it!!!
Our little samurai!



This was the main show - pretty cool. They compete to get the arrow in/on a target WHILE on a quickly moving horse!!
