Undoukai, part III

Sorry, everyone! I totally forgot to post these photos along with my previous post about Undoukai. This main photo is the second bento that I made.

Everyone is gathered, ready to start

Here's what they said in Japanese:

(bow) Otoosan, Okaasan, Ojiichaan, Obaachan

kite kurete arigato. Bokutachi wa hajimete no undoukai nanore gambaremasu. Kite kurete ureshii desu. Kore kara undoukai ga hajimarimasu. (bow)

Translation:

(bow) Father, Mother, Grandpa, Grandma, thank you for coming. This is our first Undoukai, so we are going to do our best. We are happy you have come. Now Undoukai will begin. (bow)

(side note: It's now been three weeks since Undoukai. I just now asked Ridge to repeat what the kids said, and he did - quickly. Then he translated it for me!)
