Girl's Festival

March 3rd falls on "Girl's Festival." Families who have girls display "hina dolls" and wish for their daughters' happiness in the future. A set of "hina dolls" usually shows a traditional wedding in the older times in Japan.

We do not have a baby girl in our family but a cute pumpkin boy, so we usually don't celebrate the day, however, I miss this pretty custom so much. Luckily I got a set of crafty-hina-dolls in Ebina, so I made one for ME, who already had a happy wedding.
Ebina is a nice city not too large, not too small. Aryn and I let our little ones play while mums enjoyed mum's chatting. Gen tried a bouncing slide for the first time, and he really loved it. We should try this kids resort again.
