Fall Goodies

Well, we are well into the school year and well into the fall season! It has been getting much colder here, we've been pulling out the hats and scarfs! We are waiting still for the first snow fall and to the time when we can no longer ride our bikes :( Although we don't enjoy the cold weather so much, we do enjoy the beautiful changes in the leaves' colors! There was a fall festival for about 2 weeks, and Hirosaki celebrates by growing Chrysanthemum flowers in a way we have never seen before! Words cannot describe.. .

These puppies are huge!!!

Yes, their clothes are made out of Chrysanthemums!

And of course you can't have a Chrysanthemum festival without some Chrysanthemum animals!

Other than the fall festival we have been busy helping our 3rd year students prepare for college interviews, our 1st and 2nd years prepare for the Eiken (an english proefficiency test), and have English club dinners at our apartment! It is just over a month before we come home, and we are getting ansy!!! We love and miss American food, I mean, our family and friends :)
