We went down to Naha on Sunday for the annual tug of war between the east and west sides of Naha. We had a great time, even in the midst of thousands of people and we met up with our friends the Hansens afterwards and strolled along Kokusai street. We had another first, we road the monorail back to Heather and Steve's car for the ride home. To say we were cram into the monorail car would be an understatement, but being with another really fun family it was laughter inducing and we had a great time!!!!
The sea of humanity waiting for the tug of war to start.
One side is the Samurai and the other is a farmer, the each ride in on the shoulders on other men and pretend to fight before the tug of war starts.
Each district has a pole designed to represent their area.
After attaching the two ends of
the rope.
We were right under the giant gold ball went it opened!!
Ken getting our family a piece of the rope!! It is supposed to be good luck!!
My little cupie!!!
The first monorail that arrived, needless to say 7 of us were not going to fit on this one, but the next one was not much better, so we squished in for the ride!!!
Our friends son Seth posing on the monorail, and see he has only been here a few months and already has the japanese pose down with the peace sign!!!!!
Still smiling after a long day!!!!

Sounds like great fun! I do think, however, Maddie looks more grown up with every picture. :( Tell Ken to keep his gun ready!
