koinobori :: For the boys

There is a little river about 10 minutes from where we live, and during april and may the town hangs 'Koinobori' across the river to celebrate 'Boys Day' or more recently, 'Children's Day'. We had a beautiful sunny and warm day on sunday, so we took a little drive out to enjoy the river side and all the big fishies!! What fun! The boys, especially Liam, loved it. And I did too!! Time with family, beautiful country side and fun Japanese traditions.
