Children's Day 2013

Children's Day was a delightful success! Thanks to everyone who came to join in the fun. The kids were busy creating art, folding origami, watching the new batch of baby ducks, feeding the koi, listening to stories, getting face painting, and so much more. Water yo-yos were quite a hit. Listening to the exciting beat of taiko drumming and watching youngsters learn aikido caught everyone's attention. The Anime Contest winners were awarded terrific prizes...it was difficult to choose the "best" art!

Special thanks to Sister Cities Himeji Committee, Phoenix Comicon, Mesquite High School volunteers, Ken Koshio, Arizona Aikido, and all our volunteers and hearty thanks to Staff, who made this day happen as a huge success!
